H Tillberg Webb's Bookmarks

intends to scan every book ever published, and to make the full texts searchable, in the same way that Web sites can be searched on the company’s engine at .com.

Why does the Web--
accessed through a computer that shows us a 2-D screen of colored bits
--seem so resolutely spatial when it's not spatial at all?

We're not
surrounded by sensations but by stuff--the things of our world, each
with some meaning to us." Our space is full of opportunities, obstacles
and dangers--what the psychologist James Gibson called affordances (e.g.,
the chair affords us the possibility of sitting) and the philosopher Martin
Heidegger called the ready-to-hand. [iii]

The only difference
is that in one case the documents are printed on paper and in the other
they're sprayed across glass. Despite this, our experience of these
two situations will be quite different. Consider the language we'll use.
In the first case, we'll take a book from the shelf, find
a link, get another book and put the first one back.

Now
consider the language we use to talk about the Web experience: we go
to a site, we browse, we surf, we find a link
so we go to it. When we're done, we leave the site.

“dual-coding” theory of information storage (Paivio, 1991)

stored in memory in two forms

graphic organizers, physical
models, pictographs (i.e., symbolic pictures), and engaging students in
kinesthetic activities

Copyright law in the 21st century tends to be less concerned about concrete cases of infringement, and more about criminalizing entire technologies because of their potential uses.

What’s valuable is supplying a context where people can come together to create meaning out of abundance.

Sitting on a large database of archived pictures becomes less relevant when newspapers want photography to produce a feeling of real-time presence — an uncopyable quality.

"The Internet is an echo chamber that amplifies your voice and everything you do, times 100. So if you're an idiot, it's no longer just your neighbours, but the world that knows it. We absolutely need to be more careful about what we put out there," says Watson, who has a 14-year-old son, Sawyer. "It's not that people don't have embarrassing moments, but neither should we record them and share them with the world."

We are so accustomed



to this prescriptive style of education whereby the aims, purposes and goals



are preestablished for the learners that we seldom question it.



Nor do we question the assumptions that underly, or the



alternatives to, such practices

While most states are silent on the issue, Maryland specifies an age — 8 — under which it is illegal for a child to be left without a baby sitter who is “reliable” and “at least 13 years

Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management, and the Wharton School now offer specialized MBAs, majors, or dual degree programs in areas like real estate, sports management, biosciences, electronic commerce, and health care.

A contemporary poem by the Canadian P.K. Page, "Cook's Mountains," will help introduce the idea that the act of naming says as much about the giver as the receiver. The poem juxtaposes two moments of seeing the Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia. First is the scene of Captain James Cook, an eighteenth-century British explorer, naming these mountains "Glass House" because from a distance they appear as "hive-shaped hothouses." Two hundred years later, the poet sees them and is told their name by her driver. Page suggests that although the name is appropriate, "It was his gaze / that glazed each one." The mountains reflect "Cook upon the deck / his tongue / silvered with paradox and metaphor." Learning Cook's name for the mountains compromises Page's appreciation of their natural beauty not only because they become more "man-made" and artificial, but because she is reminded of Australia's past as a British colony. Cook and other explorers actually renamed these lands by effacing the aboriginal names.

School: Exploring Mobile technology as a sustainable education
option for underserved children

This project involves the assessment,
design, development, implementation, and evaluation
of mobile learning technology to provide underserved
indigenous children in Latin America with equitable
access to basic education and literacy exposure in health
and environmental safety. The primary framework for
the design and implementation addresses situation specificity,
cultural sensitivity, practical usability, theoretical
applicability, economical scalability, and viable sustainability.

today’s leaders must also be passionate, positive, respectful, humorous, and
adaptable (roll with the punches). 

If the administration wants the faculty to do
research, then how can they expect them to have time to learn new technologies
that they aren’t being paid to learn? 
There is a gap between administrative demands and faculty
capabilities.

Literacy has shifted. We had words when we were in college. This was up to just a few years ago, as recently as five years ago. That's when it becme very easy to produce media. The multimedia collage is the new baseline media. Images, text, movies, animation, music - and the abiliy to put all those together.

Why is literacy changing? The 'read-only' to 'write-possible' time is shrinking. For text, it took thousands of years. Moving pictures, about 100 years. Web, about 15 years. To the point where, as soon as something is created, we will be able not only to consume it, but to write with it at the same time. Not only that: the tools are cheap. And there are free stages everywhere, free art and story environments.

When kids go into the story environment, their sense of quality goes through the rood. That's because of the tEcosystem - the tech ecosystem. Remember when it was tapes and 8-track and vynal? Not it's computers and cameras and video.

Web 1.0 - 1990- 2005. You had very few people generating content, and the rest of us would read it. You needed to know HTML (and have no social life). Now everybody can play. Everybody becomes a client and a comoytrer at the same time. Then there's Web 2.1, which I call read-write-paint.

But the big change that's coming is the semantic web, web 3.0. It will be a while yet. What it does is that it takes web 2.1 and it puts it into the contextual model of a brain - everything is related to everything else. We 3.0 goes out, collapses Googles million search results, and relates it to everything you know, everything about you. It's the only way to deal with all this information.

This new format, which we informally call, the “raw case,” is delivered online to make use of the multimedia capabilities of the Internet, and presents a complex (and often real-world, in almost real-time) business situation.

original source documents such as 10-K filings and analyst reports, news media reports (print and broadcast), faculty-authored notes and background readings, scholarly articles, interview videos or transcripts with the parties involved, as well as other multimedia tools, such as Google maps

when we structure courses and materials for team teaching, we enable both faculty and students to break out of the conventional mindsets that get in the way of appreciating complex management problems
