@henlo_dog @nationalgridus We see you @henlo_dog ..somehow bad work @nationalgridus work NOT requested and NOT contracted by homeowner results in homeowner getting his/her gas shut off! and $$$ bill from contractor???

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

@natmak1118 #870 EdTechCreativity triggered my decision to download #GarageBand from #Apple App Store (Approximately 60 minutes to download initial series of sounds and loops on broadband) Step #1....

#870 EdTechCreativity Computer music systems and approaches are now ubiquitous, and perform very sophisticated audio synthesis using a wide variety of algorithms and approaches. (Lee and Chen, 2013) Common application for K-12, university students or professional mainly? Opp?

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

@natmak1118 Nice! See #dungeonsanddragons and similar RPGs teaching concepts e.g health, damage, vitality are learned/taught by kids in order to be effective in playing games which provides foundational literacy support through #individualizedlearning #differentiatedlearning

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

#870 EdTechNewLiteracy Linkages between Creativity in the form of digi game constr using digi platforms such as Microworld (Lee and Chen, 2013) and NMLS incorporation of “lucidly functional language” supporting “literacy” in kids e.g. Yu-Gi-Oh! cards (Gee, 2010) Any thoughts?

#870 EdTechCreativity Hear #Questlove on creativity https://t.co/BWumGinb5h provides important #Tech context discourse on the subject in the year 2018

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

#870 EdTechNewLiteracy Seeking feedback on the quote “Game like learning can lead to situated and not just verbal meaning.” (Gee, 2010)

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

#870 EdTechNewLiteracy Concept known as “Pro-Am” Professional amateurs (Gee, 2010) applied to DET Cohort(s), K-12 students and non-affiliated citizens leading examples from your personal perspective?

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

#870 EdTechCreativity Seeking opinion and response to use of the term “threatened” as it relates to the “durability and stability of creativity in UK schools” when new assemblages are introduced to the ecosystem of creativity competencies ref by (Loveless and Williamson, 2013).

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

#870 EdTechCreativity Social media presented as most visible tangible forms of creativity scaffold upon technology? (Loveless and Williamson, 2013)Actor-Network theory approach of (Fenick and Edwards, 2010) –Judgments made about how information is assembled > or < creativity?

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

#870 EdTechCreativity Thoughts about, or familiarity with, “Microworld, an environment that mediates educational computer-based technology and is based on Piagetian theories of learning and knowing (Papert, 1980)” similar/better development platforms - ? (Lee and Chen, 2013)

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

#870 EdTechCreativity –STEM provides clear routes toward “Creative” meshing of technology and education. E.g. 3D models, VR and AR human anatomy review and drills, What about French and Hebrew language, Music Theory and Economics? (Harder to apply/same/easier) Thoughts?

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

@natmak1118 Similar problems with employees clicking through annual mandatory training to “get done”. Games offer rewards, engage and require higher order thinking to be effective and compete against peers on leaderboards for instance. #games807

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

@natmak1118 Agree! Adding emotional connection to a rote exercise like additition and subtraction could drive a feedback loop to increase time spent on the “rote” exercise ultimately resulting in better performance during assessments.

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

@natmak1118 Focused higher order thinking driving creativity will cause students to recognize that innocuous everyday objects like a typical chair can be married with new tech like #arduino pressure sensors to give the chair a second purpose as a scale for measuring weight.

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

@almostreality7 Yeah..that's a problem. It seems to stay bottled up and used just by scholars, researchers and business people...in reports...it should be pushed out in manageable chunks so that parents and students recognize opportunities and challenges...

[Derek George @AppEdTechnology]

@almostreality7 Agree w/your proposal that very likely needs to become one of the "basic" skills because of the wide disparities in competency both between countries and among populations in countries as identified in (Anderson and Ainley, 2010) A global measure of digital and ICT lit (2016)
