[MACEP] New computer in education news from Dave Moursund

[David Moursund]

Hi, MACEPers:

I think you will be interested in some of the writing progress I have made in the past month.

My favorites are two Information Age Education blog entries:

Here is the first part of "Can I Go Play Now?" available at http://i-a-e.org/iae-blog/entry/can-i-go-play-now.html <http://i-a-e.org/iae-blog/entry/can-i-go-play-now.html>.

Imagine that you are a parent with a grade school child. You have a very strange dream. In this dream you hear your child saying:

Can I go play now? I want to go do my homework, practice on the guitar, and read the book I just checked out from the school library.

In this dream you hear yourself replying in a stern voice:

No, you may not go play right now. You haven’t finished responding to all of your Facebook messages, and you didn’t post a selfie yesterday or today. Also, you need to post at least six more Tweets today—remember our rule about a daily dozen! And you still need to spend at least 15 minutes more on Minecraft. I really like what you are doing there.


My blog entry, Forecasts About the Future of Higher Education" is available at http://i-a-e.org/iae-blog/entry/forecasts-about-the-future-of-higher-education.html <http://i-a-e.org/iae-blog/entry/forecasts-about-the-future-of-higher-education.html>.It suggests that higher education is in for some large changes.

How are you doing in keeping up with progress in brain science (educational cognitive neuroscience)? My recently revised IAE-pedia entry on this topic has now had more than a hundred thousand hits. See http://iae-pedia.org/Brain_Science <http://iae-pedia.org/Brain_Science>.

Sincerely yours,

Dave Moursund
