Where does Big Data go to die? With the increasing politicization of the topics of debt, economic growth, and what really spurs innovation, as you may have heard via the recent U.S. Presidential address on the United States debt, the recent (in geopolitical timeframes) government programs that have built and maintain Data.Gov (visit it!) and […]
The Wired Store, as part of their green tech merchanitis, recently added the Botanicalls Twitter DIY kit, an arduino/x-port based DIY kit. Detailed instructions for building the twittering-plants seem to indicate this could easily be utilized in a high school grade 9-12, if not middle school, classroom. The x-port configuration and arduino code looks simple […]
If you havent checked out the Education Arcade project give it a look. It looks at commercial game aspects in education in part, which is a tricky distinction. I had read an earlier book a couple of years ago, “What Video Games have to teach us about Learning and Literacy” by James Paul Gee, which […]
UPDATE: (April 2010) Science has spoken: two years after this post was written, a paper in Nano Letters will “[demonstrate] that this system is capable of a memory and learning process called spike timing dependent plasticity.” The memristor brain proof-of-concept awaits the slow approach from paper to prototype fabrication. Old Post: From todays HP Lab […]
Emerging technology provides a unique opportunity to introduce science within education. The development of Memristors, the fourth passive component type after resistors, capacitors and inductors, along with other Solid State memory devices, takes us one step further to creating cheap, powerful, distributed solutions for sensing and processing.
