Presentation Transcript

  1. Research, Development, & Prediction of Technology Happy Bastille Day!

  2. But first… • File links vs. relative links (for both hyperlinks and for images) • For the prompter folks, field names have to match EXACTLY the names in the Javascript (copy & paste is good)

  3. With technology, change is the only constant • Moore’s Law: the number of transistors that can fit on a chip doubles every 18 months • Exponential changes: cost of a given computation drops in half every 18 months

  4. Need to predict change

  5. How to predict the future? • Extrapolation • The “same” extrapolation: the future will be like the past • Linear extrapolation: the change from last year to this will occur again between this year and next • More complex

  6. The “pipeline” of development

  7. Riding the “trailing edge” • Technology in education organizations • Technology in education conferences • Technology in education journals

  8. Organizations • CUE: Computer Using Educators • ISTE: International Society for Technology in Education • AACE: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education • AERA: American Education Research Association

  9. Conferences • CUE Conferences • NECC • Ed-Media

  10. Journals • Practitioner • Learning & Leading with Technology • T.H.E. Journal • Research • Journal of Educational Computing Research • Journal of Research on Computing in Education • See list at http://LRS.ED.UIUC.EDU/tse-portal/publication/dans-journals.html

  11. “Vision” scenerios • The MBARI scenerio • Your vision: a day in the life of a learner in 2020

  12. Before next class • read “Learning Spaces in the Networld of Tomorrow: Future Learning Spaces: A VIP Experience at MBARI” http://gsep.pepperdine.edu/~mriel/office/webtour2/2/index.html • develop a brief "vision" of how education could/should operate in the year 2020 and post it in TAPPED IN

  13. Before (cont.) • Read the Levin & Miyake paper • Look through the Memorable Troubleshooting stories at http://cternt1.ed.uiuc.edu/troublestories/ and submit at least one memorable troubleshooting story of your own.

  14. The importance of stories in education • Fables, fairy tales, parables, epic poems, legends, etc. • Studies at Xerox PARC by Julian Orr and others: Xerox technician “war stories”

  15. Functions of stories • Conveyers of obscure but important information • A “way in” to becoming a member of a community • A way to establish expertise/status in the community

  16. Memorable story framework • http://faculty.ed.uiuc.edu/j-levin/memorable-story.html • CTER memorable stories: http://cternt1.ed.uiuc.edu/cterstories/ • Troubleshooting memorable stories:http://cternt1.ed.uiuc.edu/troublestories

  17. Next class meeting • Tuesday, same time, same place

  18. Break time! • Tuesday snacks: Kenia & Becky • Thanks to Jill & Barbara for today’s snacks
