As readers of this blog know I love examples of seeing things in new ways. That to me if often the crux of creativity. Anyway here are two examples. The first curtesey of Leigh Wolf is a new advertisement from some credit card company. The ad is actually pretty...
OpenAI just released Code Interpreter. It allows you to execute Python code within a live working environment. One of the things that it allows us to do is take data files and conduct data analysis and create graphs and charts. Not knowing what that meant I decided to...
Two robots made entirely using Lego Mindstorms NXT Retail-kit that can solve Sudoku problems and the Rubik's Cube! How totally cool is that. LEGO Mindstorms is a line of Lego sets combining programmable bricks with electric motors, sensors, Lego bricks, and Lego...
The Institute of Education, University of London is organizing a series of seminars on New forms of doctorate i.e. the manner in which multimodality and e-learning are influencing the nature and format of doctoral theses in Education and the social sciences. This is a...
Mishra & Yadav (2006) was a paper based around my dissertation research. It took a while to get published and I am including it here for the record. My dissertation (Mishra, 1998) was maybe the first place where I made a specific mention of the triad of...
A re-edited version of the SITE 2008 Keynote address (by Matt Koehler and me) has been uploaded to the website. You can find the new version here. This presentation depended quite heavily on the exact synching of slide transitions to the audio - and the previous...

Plato's Allegory of the Cave (see Wikipedia entry) illustrates "our nature in its education and want of education." It is maybe one of the most famous allegories in literature and philosophy, a precursor to the kinds of mind-games (think brain in a vat) that...
Excellent points, I completely agree on that…
Your daughter is really creative.I liked her film.
Great information shared. Well done.
ya, I would like to try with my middle school technology class.
We used a digital video camera connected to a MacBook laptop running iStopMotion software. Final editing (and sound) was done using iMovie. I plan to post a picture of the setup in day or so.
Could you explain the hardware and software used to create this? I would like to try with my middle school technology class.
Cool! One suggestion…. Are you setting focus, exposure, aperture and everything manually? It looks like it may be changing from frame to frame, and might look better if it stayed locked (manually).
This was created by 5 different girls yelling, screaming, shrieking, shaking, all the while. It is a wonder anything was in focus at all 🙂
And given this was the first time ever doing something like this (for most of them) I am amazing anything showed up at all 🙂
