  • Though centralized PC labs have been an important part of both campus space planning and IT infrastructure for the last two decades, this may be changing.
  • other kinds of student-centered academic computing support will certainly be required. This support will take the form of computer collaboration, friendly small group huddle areas, and virtual computer labs
  • "cloud computing" significantly lessens the need for traditional computer labs
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • While it may be tempting by those on some campuses to interpret the trend away from providing computer labs as opportunities to save on computing related space allocation and IT funding, they really represent a call for allocating space and funding in new ways.
  • The need to allocate resources properly will necessitate institutions to learn how to continue to meet challenge of creating non-traditional learning environments that support collaborative mobile computing.

    On this site you can find a collection of seven math, science and writing games that are great for elementary and middle school students. Not only can you play these interactive games right on your computer, but you can download them and use them on your computer and save them for a later time.

  • The results found that both the implementation and outcomes of the program were varied across the five 1:1 settings and over the three years of the student laptop implementation. Despite these differences, there was evidence that the types of educational access and opportunities afforded by 1:1 computing through the pilot program led to measurable changes in teacher practices, student achievement, student engagement, and students’ research skills.

    "This paper examines the educational impacts of the Berkshire Wireless Learning Initiative (BWLI), a pilot program that provided 1:1 technology access to all students and teachers across five public and private middle schools in western Massachusetts. Using a pre/post comparative study design, the current study explores a wide range of program impacts over the three years of the project's implementation."

    "Kevin Slavin argues that we're living in a world designed for -- and increasingly controlled by -- algorithms. In this riveting talk from TEDGlobal, he shows how these complex computer programs determine espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. Slavin also warns that we are writing code we can't understand with implications we can't control."

    "computers and cellphones, and the constant stream of stimuli they offer, pose a profound new challenge to focusing and learning. Researchers say the lure of these technologies, while it affects adults too, is particularly powerful for young people. The risk, they say, is that developing brains can become more easily habituated than adult brains to constantly switching tasks - and less able to sustain attention. "

  • Quality assurance, in its broadest sense, is any action taken to prevent quality problems from occurring. In practice, this means devising systems for carrying out tasks which directly affect product quality
  • To implement systems for an organisation, you need to carry out three basic steps: first develop the system; second, document it (this takes the form of policies, procedures, and reference information); and third, inform, instruct, and train staff to use it.
  • Quality assurance does not only apply to products. Services, and even "non-production" activities such as administration and sales, benefit from a quality assurance approach.

  • These Standards exist because many large organisations will not buy from suppliers who cannot give them assurance that they have systems which support quality. These large organisations include Government Defense Departments, Health Departments, car manufacturers such as Ford, Toyota, and General Motors, and Aerospace companies such as Boeing and Lockheed.
  • Until the mid 1980's these large organisations published their own standards or codes for suppliers to follow, and their staff would audit supplier companies regularly to make sure they followed the code. It was not unusual for a supplier to be audited separately by a number of larger customers, all with their own quality system codes. In some instances suppliers hosted 30 or 40 quality system audits a year from all their major customers. To reduce the number of audits to which individual suppliers were subjected, the International Organisation for Standards (ISO) published a series of standards in 1987 known as ISO 9000. Most large purchasing organisations accepted this worldwide standard and ceased to issue their own codes. They also ceased carrying out their own audits and accepted the findings of independent audit companies engaged by supplier companies to check their systems against the ISO 9000 standards. This allowed supplier companies to reduce the number of audits to two or three per yea

  • Today, in the PC world, whether a computer is a Dell, a Gateway, a Sony, etc., one puts a layer of software on that device, and then from a user's perspective all those different devices are the same. That is what is going to happen shortly in the mobile device space. Different companies are going to build a layer of software that makes every smart phone--android, [Windows Phone 7], iOS, etc.--appear the same to the teacher and the student.
  • We need to accept the fact that mobile technologies are an integral part of the kids lives and an integral part of 21st century knowledge workers' lives. We need to stop looking at the past and look to the future. We need to step forward and say: We need to do 21st century education in the same ways we are doing 21st century commerce, 21st century health, etc. There are risks; absolutely. But staying where we are in schools--using 19th century technology and fooling ourselves that we are teaching 21st century skills and content--is truly doing our students a huge disservice. You can't teach 21st century skills and content with 18th century paper and pencil tools.

  • Within five years, every K-12 student in America will be using a mobile handheld device as a part of learning, according to Elliot Soloway, a professor at the University of Michigan.
  • "Smart phones are the one technology that can eliminate the digital divide," he told THE Journal. "Given the cost of the device, it is very conceivable that every child, rich or poor, can have one 24/7."
