The document discusses the concept of design thinking and its application to technology. It provides several definitions of design thinking, highlighting its emphasis on empathy, creativity, and rationality. Design thinking follows a process involving inspiration, conceptualization, and implementation. The document advocates applying a design thinking methodology to leverage technology in products, services, tasks, and organizations in order to take advantage of its benefits while avoiding common thinking traps. An example case proposes enhancing a business simulation game through mobile apps and simulated real-time news to force decision making.

I attempt to generalise Jeannette Wing's notion of "Computational thinking" (ACM 2006) to include attempting to understand much biological information processing, and try to show the necessity for educators to do deep computational thinking if they wish to facilitate processes of learning.
ELH School Tech 2013 - Computational ThinkingPaul Herring
To be good ‘Computational Thinkers’ and hence effective users of, and more importantly empowered creators with Digital Technologies, students need to be conversant and articulate with:
algorithms;
cryptography;
machine intelligence;
computational biology;
search;
recursion;
heuristics;
Entrepreneurial enabling, and
The use of Digital Technologies to develop and support Critical Thinking skills.
While schools have taught many of these areas in the past, opportunities are now being presented where schools can fully embrace those areas traditionally part of a Computer Science type course, but also introduce the fascinating new areas of endeavor such as cryptography and computational biology.
Coupled with the increasing enabling of application development and deployment by Senior School students, such as in the creation and deployment of mobile games using Corona and Lua for example, students are able to be powerfully enabled as creative producers, not just passive users.
The presentation will give an overview of these areas of Computational Thinking and some outline of how they might be implemented in the curriculum, including current examples from senior IT classes in Queensland who are creating digital apps for Android devices.
This presentation will cover some of the ground from my ACEC 2012 talk on this topic (see SlideCast at this link: http://www.slideshare.net/StrategicITbyPFH/computational-thinking-14629222), but expand in a number of areas, in particular some specific suggestions regarding classroom implementation.

Artificial intelligence based solutions are developing fast and offer threats to the integrity of educational processes and assessments. Students can generate written work, art and even computer software. These slides, presented in webinar form to the European Network for Academic Integrity, showcase some of the options available to students and ask how we should integrate the use of such tools into the learning and assessment process.
Presented at Agile on the Beach (6th September 2012)
Apparently, everyone knows about patterns. Except for the ones that don't. Which is basically all the people who've never come across patterns... plus most of the people who have.
Singleton as a rite of patternhood and a source of excitement. Patterns as the raw materials of blueprint-driven architecture and design by diktat. Patterns as something you don't need to know any more because you've got frameworks, libraries and middleware by the download. Patterns as something you don't need to know because you're building on UML, legacy code or emergent design. All these misconceptions... and more.
In this talk, let's take an alternative tour of patterns, one that is based on improving the habitability of code, communication, exploration, empiricism, reasoning, incremental development, sharing design and bridging rather than barricading different levels of expertise.
The Untold Benefits of Ethical Design - Web Directions Summit 2018, SydneyHolger Bartel
Product design can go wrong and affect users negatively. How do your users feel using your product? What’s the impact that you cause? Can we build better products if we follow certain standards or principles?
This talk will explore how to better care about users and improve their experience by taking a more ethical approach. Most importantly, this talk will hopefully be an inspiration, question the status quo and help us build for a better future web.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Thinking traps. An experiment. 1/2
Suppose the government is gearing for the
outbreak of an unusual disease, which is
expected to kill 600 people. Two alternative
programs to combat the disease have been
proposed, and you must choose which one you
think is better. These are the estimates of the
outcomes for each program:
Program A: 200 people will be saved.
Program B: There’s a 1/3 chance that 600
people will be saved, and a 2/3 chance that no
people will be saved.
Make a note of your choice.

Now suppose that, instead of those two
programs above, you’ve been presented with
the following two programs instead. As in the
previous situation, pick the one you think is
better.
Program C: 400 people will die.
Program D: There’s a 1/3 chance that nobody
will die, and a 2/3 chance that 600 people will
die.

There is no reason to think that people wants to have a computer at home.
Ken Olson, president, director & founder of Digital Equipment Corp. 1977
Consider the perspective of one big video-game producer, Electronic Arts. In the early 1980s, about half of the people working at EA's Redwood City [Calif.] campus were Apple alumni. Yet EA stopped making Mac-compatible games later in the decade, when Apple turned its attention to corporate markets. EA co-founder Bing Gordon recalls his shock when Apple's then-CEO John Sculley said in 1987 that "there is no home-computer market." Says Gordon: "They were working so hard to get respect, the last thing they wanted was for people who wore suits to think of the Mac as a toy." Predictably, game sales on the Mac plummeted, making it even less worthwhile for EA to make the big investments to adapt its PC games to run on the Mac's unique innards. Business Week.

Activities
Design of activities and organised services, which includes the traditional management concern for logistics, combining physical resources,instrumentalities, and human beings in efficient sequences and schedules to reach specified objectives. However, this area has expanded into a concern for logical deci-sion making and strategic planning and is rapidly evolving into an exploration of how better design thinkingc an contributet o achieving an organic flow of experience in concrete situations, making such experiences more intelligent, meaningful, and satisfying. The central theme of this area is connections and consequences. Designers are exploring a progressively wider range of connections in every-day experience and how different types of connections affect the structure of action.

Environments
The fourth area is the design of complex systems or environments for living, working, playing, and learning. This includes the traditional concerns of systems engineering, architecture, and urban planning or the functional analysis of the parts of complex wholes and their subsequent integration in hierarchies. But this area has also expanded and reflects more consciousness of the central idea, thought, or value that expresses the unity of any balanced and functioning whole. This area is more and more concerned with exploring the role of design in sustaining, developing, and integrating human beings into broader ecological and cultural environments, shaping these environments when desirable and possible or adapting to them when necessary.

The city will be divided into seven distinct sectors – a Lifescape, an Eco-Valley, a Solarscape, an Urbanscape, a Windscape, an Earthscape and Eco-Corridors. Surrounded by greenery, the Lifescape will consist of a series of soil-topped mounds that will counteract the towering apartment buildings of the other communities. To the north of the Lifescape, the Solarscape will act as the administrative and civic center of the Eco-City. Demonstrating the concept of a compact, multilayered city, the Urbanscape will be the core of the Eco-City, featuring stacked programs interconnected by sky-bridges at multiple levels to make efficient use of vertical space. In contrast to the Urbanscape, the Earthscape will act as a sort of suburb of the city, with stepped architecture that will maximize public green space. Last but not least, the Windscape will transform Qingtuozi, a century-old village surrounded by a small lake, into a venue for citizens to relax and recreate.
The city’s expected completion date is in 2020.
