The future of kinect?
Posted by: ashleytan on: November 5, 2011
Video source Microsoft is looking into its own crystal ball to see how the Kinect might be used. Like the folks who pooh-poohed its vision of the future, there will be some who don’t see the point. I’d rather focus on the possibilities.
Productivity in the future?
Posted by: ashleytan on: October 29, 2011
Video source Microsoft just released a video of their vision of what personal and work productivity might look like in the future. I don’t mind that the future might be filled with white IKEA-like furniture. Maybe the furniture can assemble itself too. But I hope that schooling changes so that the girl does not have [...]

Salman Khan on reinventing education
Posted by: ashleytan on: March 11, 2011

In the area of improving education, I like what Khan said about changing the administrative mindset of increasing teacher:student ratios to thinking of ways to increase teacher contact time with students. The way [...]
Future of screen technology?
Posted by: ashleytan on: September 8, 2010
Video source Ooh! Ahh! Do the concepts seem impossible? I don’t see why not since some of the technologies are merely extensions of what we already see today. I think that the only thing in the video that is near impossible is Sweden winning the World Cup. It’s important to keep one’s eyes on the [...]
Imagine

by dani-santana I attended my first NIE appointment holders retreat yesterday. I am not quite the Head of CITE yet, but I guess it helps to get a running start. Like I tweeted yesterday, the early part of the day began with PowerPoint. It had all the hallmarks of what I dread about some presentations. [...]
