The images of “educational technology”
images of “computer scientist” by middle school students
lots of examples of what compsci can look like - embedded technology, art, wearable, etc.
The “technology” in “educational technology” is a rapidly evolving ecosystem
- programmable objects: wallpaper, curtains, mobiles, clothing
- new settings for those objects: a child's bedroom etc
- new opportunities for technological play and learning: parties, sporting events
Neat video of “programmable paper” - magnetic paint, conductive paint, putting small objects on it
Using light tubes to create 3D objects with your hands
Car running on a floor with barcodes that program it, can be written with magic marker
Take away message:
Technology is more than computer (or even the web)
Education is more than the classroom (or even the local science museum)
