What are the 4 R's Essential to 21st Century Learning? | HASTAC - 0 views

  • the beauty of teaching even the youngest kids algorithms and algorithmic or procedural thinking is that it gives them the same tool of agency and production that writing and even reading gave to industrial age learners who, for the first time in history, had access to cheap books and other forms of print.
  • Interestingly, unlike math, which can often be difficult to teach in all of its abstraction, algorithms do stuff.   Algorithms are operational.  You show kids how to use a program like Scratch or Hackasaurus and, very soon, they can actually manipulate, create, and do, in their very own and special way.   
  •  
    "The classic "3 R's" of learning are, of course, Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmetic.  For the 21st century, we need to add a fourth R--and it will help inspire the other three:  Algorithm. "

Who Owns Your Data? - 0 views

  • But as we use the Internet for “free,” we have to remember that if we’re not paying for something, we’re not the customer. We are in fact the product being sold — or, more specifically, our data is. So here’s a tricky question: Who owns all that data?
  • The digital divide isn’t about who owns data — it’s about who can put that data to work.

Ultrabooks: A new era for PCs or Wintel innovation bankruptcy? | TechRepublic - 0 views

  • Microsoft, and all of their hardware partners are going to have do better than this. They need to emerge from innovation bankruptcy and do a lot more than just rubber-stamping Apple’s stuff.
  • why should people buy a knockoff of the MacBook Air when they can get the real thing for about the same price? Other than for the dwindling population of people who are heavily invested in Windows desktop software, that’s going to increasingly be a tough sell for the Wintel coalition.
  • the big question is whether this is real innovation that will change the way people use technology or if it’s just a bunch of trumped up marketing chatter to get people excited about buying laptops again
  •  
    For the first time in years, PCs grabbed the spotlight at CES 2012. Ultrabooks were everywhere, but was it an innovation win or an innovation failure?

Learning is life.: Evernote as a 1-on-1 Reading Conferencing Tool - 1 views

  •  
    "One of the essentials in Reading this year is one-on-one conferencing with students. When I saw that The CAFE suggested using three-ring binders with tons of copies for each student, I went mentally-fetal. It wouldn't just be one three-ring binder I'd need to organize. I have three classes! Knowing that much paperwork would overwhelm me, I set about devising a system. I settled on Evernote with an iPad I've borrowed from my district's IT department. I want to lay out a few screenshots of how it works and why I like it."
