Hands-On Physicality (more info)
www.nokeyboard.org Haptics Input/Output Coming Soon.... This
project will generate a web community to collect a database of
types of alternative hardware to current Input/Output [I/O] and
quantify multiple options for learning feedback from novel physical
I/O devices. From the list, we will find 4 or 5 significant
alternate tools for input/output which provide physical feedback.
We wa...
Smaller Ed Learning & Larger Ed Systems (more info)
How can ubiquitous technology help create a classroom environment
which includes problem solving, collaboration and critical thinking
while addressing the standards? How can ubiquitous technology tools
help teachers manage current standards demand/managment as well as
contribute to student learning and achievement?
Ubiquitous computing to support project-based
learning (more
info)
How can we utilize ubiquitous computing to enable effective
project-based learning and enable it to scale. Our focus will be on
tools and their use. Students carrying PDA's enter a teaching
"space" (a classroom, a field, etc.) The space senses who is there
(there are ubiquitous sensors). Classroom: The students place their
PDA's on their work tables, which are arranged in groups ...
Exploring Ubiquitous Video (more info)
By integrating and building on work of others, we conceptualized a
'dream toolbox'of technology to support field-based inquiry . We
decided to focus on how kids can use video image data along with
probeware to investigate the physical world. Specifically we want
to work with a small group of kids to test the use of reglular and
specialized video imaging technology to support specific
content...

Our group has decided to work differently: each of our four
collaborative groups will give a five minute presentation of their
ideas during each session of the cross-pollination. Our groups will
present their ideas on: Physicality of learning, Educational
Standards, Learning technology, Data probes and modeling
