MassCUE 2011: Presentation

by

Meg Robbins and I are presenting an hour-long, hands-on workshop at MassCUE 2011, Wednesday, October 26.  entitled: Motivating students to become self-directed learners.  If you want to learn more about understanding “how-to” motivate your students in their journey to becoming self-directed learners, this is for you.

  • Learn what self-directed learning skills are.
  • Understand what is critical you teach and how.
  • Gain tips you can immediately implement into your classroom.

Come join us at the 2011 Technology Conference in the Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts. This year’s theme: Today’s Global Learners = Tomorrow’s Global Leaders = TGL2: What Next?

Goodbye Visionary

We need more of what Steve had. He saw something that was simply better than what had preceded it, and he was willing to gamble based on that instinct. That required an ability to think first and foremost as someone who lives with technology rather than produces it.

Steve Jobs

Jobs is perhaps the greatest user of technology to every live. He was able to think first and foremost as someone who lives with technology rather than produces it.

“What was once educationally significant, but difficult to measure, has been replaced by what is insignificant and easy to measure.

So now we test how well we have taught what we do not value.”

Make Eyewear

by

3D Eyeware

About a year ago, maybe longer, I was hunting for a unique wedding gift for some designer friends and happened upon Shapeways: a 3-D printing service.  I played around with their online design tools, however opted for a beautiful glass pitcher.  David Minich was shopping for eyewear and used Shapeways to create his own business: Make Eyewear. David creates infinitely customizable eyewear.  The beauty of rapid prototyping is that you can design just about whatever you want, then print it on demand.  What could you make with this type of technology?
