iPad als middelpunt van nieuwe school - Onderwijsnieuwsdienst

Posted: 29 Mar 2012 03:49 AM PDT

AMSTERDAM - Er moet een nieuwe school komen waar de iPad een belangrijke rol speelt. Dat vindt een groep initiatiefnemers, die maandag in Amsterdam het plan Onderwijs voor een nieuwe tijd presenteerden. De initiatiefnemers, bestaande uit een tweetal onderwijzers, een onderwijskundige en opiniepeiler Maurice de Hond zetten vraagtekens bij de manier waarop bestaande scholen hun leerlingen voorbereiden op de toekomst. Zij menen dat kinderen van jongs af aan moeten leren omgaan met de tabletcomputer, omdat dat aansluit bij de technologische ontwikkelingen. Dat gebeurt in een fysieke schoolomgeving, maar ook thuis in een virtuele school.

TEDxVancouver: The Weight of Data | blprnt.blg

In November, I was asked to come back to my hometown and give a talk at TEDxVancouver. The overarching theme of the event was 'The Frontier' – along with me, there would be talking about space, deep-sea science, and spiritual exploration. I decided to frame my talk around what I consider to be a largely un-explored part of the big data conversation that has opened up over the last few years: thinking about data in a human context. I talk a bit about my history with HyperCard, rattle over a series of data-based projects, and end with a call-to-arms for artists, poets, writers and other creatives to join the discourse around data.
