My journey....

“As a thirteen year old, I had a profound fear of computers. Id attended CampChip-A-Bit at Trinity University, and aside from enjoying playing Outpost on anApple //+, I hated programming.”When my father expressed his decision to buy me a computer, my mompromptly challenged him, "Hes terrible in math. Hes not going to grow up tobe a programmer."

Learning Conversations via Electronic Bulletin Board Services (BBSs) Embedding images BASIC with MultiScribe WP MISC-UT Balancing Checkbooks with VisiCalcDownloading Spreadsheet software The role of the SIG-OP trader That Apple //e and a 300 baud modem gave me access to a community of minds...and, I spent time writing in BBS forums, exploring new software and how it could facilitate communication, essentially, learning to be social online before I turned 18.

A recent survey of 25 technology directors in U.S. school districts revealed that every single one was testing or using the iPad in schools. Within five years, they expect to have more tablets per student than computers – a total of one iPad per six students, compared to the current 10 students per computer. In schools, tablet has become synonymous with iPad. ad yiP h ?” “W http://goo.gl/EEKo4 Source: iPads Expected to Outnumber Computers in Schools Within 5 Years http://goo.gl/rkMqw

post-digital school? It marks the transition fromthe era where we’re excitedby the shiny new digital toys that we have, and start to become excited by the changes that these shinynot-so-new toys are making in the way we live, in the objects we have around us.

post-digital school? “I see great potential for tablets to function as teaching tools for both medical education and with patients.The capability to show patients theirresults, radiology studies and teachingaides is invaluable in the patient-centered medical home models.Integration of tablets with other devices(stethoscopes, imaging) and the http://goo.gl/xspq8capability to carry a multitude oftextbooks and instant journal accessshould accelerate the revolution inmedical education already occurring.”

post-digital school?To allow or not to allow personal smartphones and other mobilecomputing devices into the healthcare setting?
