Hi Hilaire This message is off-list as I do not have the capacity NOW to maintain a conversation on this list. See my comments below On 6/23/18, Hilaire <hilaire@drgeo.eu> wrote:
Hi Ben,
They call it Dynabook in the old time... Not yet there 40 years later, we are damn slow.
Yes indeed. Actually on the hardware level and the software for reading (e-books) and learning (teaching apps) the dynabook goal has been reached for many years by now. Even the price goal has been under-cut. For 100USD you get a nice tablet which is considerably less than the 300....400 USD people originally thought of. And with OTG connections you may add a mouse and keyboard. Raspberry Pi is also very affordable and has millions of users. But just using laptops and PCs is also very fine.
As an educator, I am all days frustrated with the computed tools we have, and the lack of integration.
This is the main point. Lack of integration. And "authoring environments" for this.
Anyones crazy enough to work on this challenge?
I think I am working on this. For quite some time. At the moment I work with Squeak though. But as Dr. Geo is using Morphic what I am doing may be extended to be used there as well. What I am doing is not so much inventing new things but making old things work. The solutions are actually around. They need to be documented and used. Demos and interaction is needed. Curriculum integration is then also quite an effort. I understand that you are in or around Geneva. Is that correct? Kind regards Hannes
