Will Smart Phones Eliminate the Digital Divide? -- THE Journal - 0 views

      No they cannot, screen size is a major issue. Which ever way you look at it an image the size of a postage stamp is the size of a postage stamp
  • 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."

    George Siemens, Stephen Downes, and Dave Cormier - have had over 10,000 participants in the various courses we've run since 2008. The learning experience has been terrific. We've refined our pedagogical approaches, improved the software (well, actually, just Stephen did that), and developed a research agenda around learning in networks in open online courses... If you are interested in joining, please register for the course. We will be posting more information over the next few months.

What the IT department will look like in 2015 | TechRepublic - 3 views

  •  
    .. the oversized, centralized IT department of 2001 is a relic that's never coming back and IT pros need to prepare for the decentralized IT reality of the future where companies are going to keep fewer IT pros on staff, hire more consultants, and focus their IT resources on software, the cloud, and mobile devices

Google Chrome Enterprise Deployment - Obtaining the MSI | Systems Administration - 0 views

  •  
    "I've decided to begin a test Google Chrome deployment for all users at the company where I'm currently employed. My main motivations are security and overall user browsing experience. Employees are not administrators on their machines and the only browser that is currently offered is Internet Explorer. When I found out that Google have released policy templates that can be deployed through group policy for the Chrome browser and that there is now a Google Chrome enterprise msi available I began to do some testing.
