SXSW 2011: The internet is over | Technology | The Guardian - 20 views

  • His take on the education system, for example, is that it is a badly designed game: students compete for good grades, but lose motivation when they fail. A good game, by contrast, never makes you feel like you've failed: you just progress more slowly. Instead of giving bad students an F, why not start all pupils with zero points and have them strive for the high score?

  • a consultant on cyber-crimefighting speaks with undisguised joy about how much information the police could glean from Facebook, in order to infiltrate communities where criminals might lurk. Asked about privacy concerns, she replies: "Yeah – we'll have to keep an eye on that."
  • Until recently, the debate over "digital distraction" has been one of vested interests: authors nostalgic for the days of quiet book-reading have bemoaned it, while technology zealots have dismissed it. But the fusion of the virtual world with the real one exposes both sides of this argument as insufficient, and suggests a simpler answer: the internet is distracting if it stops you from doing what you really want to be doing; if it doesn't, it isn't.

  • Acknowledging the tough economy and lost library jobs, Doug Johnson, director of media and technology for Mankato (MN) Public Schools, declared, “We have no choice but to change,” as he kicked off the June 28 Forum event of SIGMS, ISTE’s special-interest group for media specialists.
  • That change means not only embracing technology directly, but taking a leadership role in helping teaching peers and students manage the shift, whether it’s going from print to ebooks or using instructional videocasting to “flip” the classroom.

    "Each week, I ask my Information Literacy for Teaching and Learning students to respond to a few prompts in a letter to me.
