  • Education = QWERTY
  • Skinner’s Teaching Machine - first ed tech?
  • Monday - Someday : how does all this apply once Monday comes?
  • If a surgeon goes back 100 years he/she will not recognize a surgery room. If a teacher goes back 100 years, he/she will not see many differences.
  • Education: Driveresque & Latinesque
  • Final Project
    • Talked about the idea of creating an object that could teach aobut health - you’d need to feed it with the right stuff or it will get fat or sick for example.

Second half of the class we looked at the wood-working tools, the vinyl cutter (to make stickers), and how to make movable joints and gears with the laser cutter.
