Could not expect less that a well planned out classroom experience… well organized, open for sharing, high expectations, engaging exchanges and interesting topic – thought provoking.
Tons of reading but so rich… new terms / better definitions
Class Notes:
Met with the Core Faculty of the Lemann Center today along with other Fellows, Visiting Scholars and staff. Very engaging ideas and goals. Looking forward to working more with them… started out by helping Paulo make a nice mattress, pillow and sheets for his new iPhone 6s 🙂
Day started out early with this class discussing the educational assessment history and issues in Brazil. The reading of “Três gerações de avaliação da educação básica no Brasil: interfaces com o currículo da/na escola” by Alicia Bonamino (2012) was quite interesting and helped understand a little more about the Brazilian history. Good debates but lacked a little structure…
Dropped HCI this semester to maintain some level of sanity this quarter – it was going to be a lot of work and not so new to me – definitely want to take it next quarter.
For now, lots and lots of reading to learn about the basic theories, methodologies, best-practices and so on of Education.
TONS OF NOTES TODAY:
I just realized how much this computer affected me and my career… I was fascinated by Logo… the Turtle you could program to draw on the screen… I was around 10 years old – my first glance at programming I guess… or making “art” with tech.
Amazing tool that we are using here to communicate and share content amongst the cohort. Create channels based on topics, message people directly, upload photos and so on…
To the beach and to the woods!
