Higher education: Innovation and digital transformation. Our exploration of digital transformation continues with a conversation about higher education.
Colleges and universities face a combination of forces that require rethinking business model; re-considering relationships with constituencies such as faculty, students, and administrators; and understanding the rise of technology as an enabler of change. For a report I wrote with colleagues on innovation in higher education, we interviewed 10 higher education CIOs and one CTO.
These executives focused on business issues such as: Student retentionStudent recruitmentFundraisingReduced costs and higher operational efficiencyGreater classroom innovation These business issues represent points where schools must evaluate current approaches, to keep up with both innovative peers in other institutions and the activities of private companies.
The CIO of Georgetown University, Lisa Davis, was among the CIOs we interviewed for that report. Five Ways to Bring Innovation Into the Classroom. What’s Up with QR Codes: Best Tools &... Are Teachers and Ed Tech Businesses Working Towards the Same Goal? Education technology businesses have come up with hundreds, if not thousands, of products meant to make teachers’ lives easier and improve student achievement.
Most products bite off a piece of the education puzzle, trying to solve one corner of a complex web. Four of these businesses — MasteryConnect, Illuminate Education, Pearson, and Imagine K12 — were represented on a panel last week hosted by VLAB, a partnership between MIT and Stanford. “The goal is to understand immediately if a student understood that concept and to be able to re-teach it if necessary,” said Mick Hewitt, CEO and co-founder of MasteryConnect. MasteryConnect allows teachers to track student’s mastery of concepts through various kinds of formative assessments including quizzes, oral responses, or even scanning an image of an assignment.

At past Swiss Open Data Camps we had a few ideas around the theme of open legal data, while constantly exploring the boundaries of what we can legally do with data.
We have aimed to fully understand and debate the conditions of use, while championing openness. The 2013 Law Mining Hackathon was run as a satellite workshop at the Open Knowledge Conference in Geneva.

Le Journal du matin du 19.12.2013. EmTech: Google’s Astro Teller Says Its “Loon" Balloons Will Ring the Globe in 2015. Within a year, Google is aiming to have a continuous ring of high-altitude balloons in the Southern Hemisphere capable of providing wireless Internet service to cell phones on the ground.
That’s according to Astro Teller, head of the Google X lab, the company established with the purpose of working on “moon shot” research projects. He spoke at MIT Technology Review’s EmTech conference in Cambridge today. Brain Corporation. An operating system that enables robots to learn.
Brain Operating System Robots are not yet a part of everyday life because they are difficult to program, unable to adapt to changing environments, and are costly to customize at the point of use. Brain Corporation developed BrainOS (Brain Operating System) to address these issues. It allows robots to perform specialized tasks and adapt to new environments through training, reducing years of costly programming to mere days of teaching.
BrainOS intends to enable any robotics company with a business idea to quickly launch and iterate its products, leading to an explosion of consumer applications. Startup Brain Corporation Offers a Way to Train Robots by Demonstration, Not Coding. Eugene Izhikevich thinks you shouldn’t have to write code in order to teach robots new tricks.
“It should be more like training a dog,” he says. “Instead of programming, you show it consistent examples of desired behavior.” Izhikevich’s startup, Brain Corporation, based in San Diego, has developed an operating system for robots called BrainOS to make that possible. To teach a robot running the software to pick up trash, for example, you would use a remote control to repeatedly guide its gripper to perform that task. Assal Mathieu à Genève.

When I speak about using iPads in a primary school classroom, I am often asked about how it would work if I only had one iPad as is the case in many classrooms. This post is the first of what I hope will be several with suggestions as to how to make that work effectively. Sharing the iPad. Google Docs CHEAT SHEET! A Bloom's Digital Taxonomy For Evaluating Digital Tasks. What makes Bloom’s Taxonomy such a power tool is its flexibility in framing almost anything–which is why you’ve been seeing a lot of it around lately, and will likely continue to. Whether you’re creating a checklist for instructional design, evaluating an assessment, skimming a favorite unit of yours, or using it as a walkthrough instrument to get a feel for the level of student thinking in a classroom, Bloom’s Taxonomy is a powerful tool for any educator at any level.
So the following Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy was was especially interesting in how it mashes digital tasks–podcasting, blogging, networking, hacking, bookmarking, social media sharing, and so on, with the stalwart learning tool so graciously delivered by Benjamin Bloom. Le numérique et les droits fondamentaux : le rapport du Conseil d'Etat. How Do Tech Tools Affect the Way Students Write?
For many current middle and high school students, writing takes shape in all kinds of forms. They send texts, write on social media sites, update their own blogs, and of course, write for school assignments. This fluid use of writing for both personal and school work is being fueled by technology, and a Pew Research report released today showed just how significant an effect technology has on how students write.
The 2,462 educators surveyed, who were either Advanced Placement teachers or National Writing Project teachers, largely agreed that technology positively impacts students with their writing, personal expression, and creativity, and facilitates collaboration. The ability to share work with a wider audience beyond the classroom is particularly engaging, with 96 percent of teachers responding that digital technologies make it more possible. “In my experience the extended audience provided by online writing encourages students to be more deliberate and thoughtful.”

Martin Rees: Can we prevent the end of the world? Teach Kids To Be Their Own Internet Filters. ” credit=”flickingerbrad/Flickr It’s becoming less and less effective to block students from websites. When Los Angeles Unified rolled out its one-to-one iPad program, administrators expected to be able to control how students used them both in school and at home. But, not surprisingly, kids are resourceful and students quickly found ways around the security, prompting the district to require students to turn over the devices. Students live in an information-saturated world. 10 Tips for A Successful One-to-One Classroom. By Samantha Cleaver Each morning, when Laura Rahn’s class of fourth grade students entered their classroom at Mountainview Elementary School in Loudoun County, VA, they got their laptops from the charging station, completed their daily math fluency practice, and checked EdModo for the day’s instructions.
The laptops “didn’t replace me or become the full instruction for the day,” says Rahn, “they were an additional learning tool.” If your school has yet to implement a laptop program like Rahn’s, it may be on the horizon. More and more classrooms are going one-to-one, says Bob Berry, vice president of business development with Troxell Communications, as districts invest in web-based learning platforms and devices. “Education is going through a huge transformation,” agrees Verna Lalbeharie, Digital Learning Collaboration Co-lead with The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, “with this huge move towards personalized learning.”
