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

3. 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)

4. 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

5. Need to predict change

6. 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

7. The “pipeline” of development

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

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

13. 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 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

14. Before (cont.) Read the Levin & Miyake paperLevin & 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. http://cternt1.ed.uiuc.edu/troublestories/

15. 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”

16. 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

17.
