Psych Ideas — Vygotsky on Play - Part 1, Waiting, Imagination, and rules. In 1978 a collection of writings by the Russian psychologist L.S.
Vygotsky’s was published in English for the first time. Among these writings was a new translation of an important article he wrote on play and its relationship to development. The 1978 publication offered American psychologists and educators new ways of thinking about child development. Partly due to the cold war, access to Vygotsky’s ideas had been very limited in the United States. QR_Codes_in_the_Elementary_Classroom.pdf. Home Page. EA.relating to things that think.pdf. Partners. Don't Kill Math: Comments on Bret Victor's Scientific Agenda. By Evan Miller October 27, 2012 One of the most refreshing voices to emerge on the Web belongs to Bret Victor, who, since he left Apple in 2010, has been busy weaving together words, images, and code into compelling visions for computer-assisted creativity and scientific understanding.
Among his works over the last two years you will find new “interfaces” for (really, conceptualizations of) algebra, trigonometry, dynamic systems, algorithm design, computer programming, circuit design, game design, animation, scientific publishing, mathematical exposition, and political propaganda. Kill Math. Bret Victor / April 11, 2011 The power to understand and predict the quantities of the world should not be restricted to those with a freakish knack for manipulating abstract symbols.
When most people speak of Math, what they have in mind is more its mechanism than its essence. This "Math" consists of assigning meaning to a set of symbols, blindly shuffling around these symbols according to arcane rules, and then interpreting a meaning from the shuffled result. The process is not unlike casting lots. This mechanism of math evolved for a reason: it was the most efficient means of modeling quantitative systems given the constraints of pencil and paper. Judge strikes down California’s teacher tenure laws: A made-up statistic helped him reach the decision. GuidoVrola / iStock This week Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu handed the education reform movement a stunning legal victory, when he struck down California’s teacher tenure laws for discriminating against poor and minority students.
The statutes made it so onerous to fire bad teachers, he wrote, that they all but guaranteed needy kids would be stuck in classrooms with incompetent instructors—rendering the laws unconstitutional. History of APIs. The history of APIs is something I discuss a lot.
The history of modern web APIs is something I include in all my talks, and I'm always surprised by how little people understand some of the more popular APIs that got us to where we are at. To further support this area, I've launched a History of APIs section where I've hung the stories I've already done in this area, and will be looking to dig up the history on other APIs that are shaking things up. When I'm talking to people about APIs, the term APIs can mean many different things. Sometimes it means hardware APIs, or the Java API or various other technical incarnations. Right now when you hear the term API, it probably means web API or an API built using REST, running on the same infrastructure the World Wide Web runs on. When it comes to APIs, I strongly feel that to understand where we are, we need to understand the short, modern history of the web APIs.

Published Online: March 10, 2014 Published in Print: March 13, 2014, as Playing Games, Evaluating Skills Sixth grader Jackie Blumhoefer, middle, reacts as she takes over first place during a game of SimCityEDU: Pollution Challenge at Valleyview Middle School in Denville, N.J. —Emile Wamsteker for Education Week Embedding assessments into digital games encourages students to see failure as an opportunity to learn, educators say By Robin L. SimCityEDU: Pollution Challenge, an educational version of the popular city-building video game, is a known quantity in a fresh wave of serious learning games that bridge the gap between instruction and assessment.
Www.instituteofplay.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/GlassLab_GBA1_Summary.pdf. Beyond Grades: Do Games Have a Future As Assessment Tools? Most tests represent a snapshot of one moment in the trajectory of a student’s academic journey, extrapolating what the student has learned overall. There are plenty of ways educators are trying to supplement those tests with more nuanced, formative assessments.
With the advent of game-based learning, educators have been investigating how data collected from video game play could provide insight into the way students think as they explore new concepts. A report from the game developers, learning specialists and psychometricians involved with GlassLab’s project SimCityEDU finds that there’s great potential for games and assessment, but a lot of work to be done before games are used as primary assessment tools.
SimCityEDU is a game created to introduce environmental science to middle school students. Press. Richard Arum Receives $2.4 Million to Study Gaming and Digital Learning Techniques and Outcomes.
