Claude Shannon’s “Creative Thinking” Speech: A Genius Reveals How To Be Creative

Claude Shannon’s “Creative Thinking” Speech: A Genius Reveals How To Be Creative
Jimmy Soni, The Mission, 2017/08/10
The post is at heart an advertisement for a book about Claude Shannon, and you get the speech beginning only at the half-way point. And also, I think a good part of it is wrong, as we would expect when a mathematician attempts to discuss educational theory. But it's also a good example of what we might call 'folk education theory', analogous to folk psychology, containing commonsense ideas not validated by research or science. More...

Naked in the Garden: Privacy and the Next Generation Digital Learning Environment

Naked in the Garden: Privacy and the Next Generation Digital Learning Environment
Lisa Ho, EDUCAUSE Review, 2017/08/10
There's an interesting diagram about half way down this article comparing four privacy schemas (Asilomar, LACE, IMS Key Principles and UCal Principles) against five themes (transparency, anonymity and choice, ownership and control, stewardship, and technical standards). It strikes me that these themes could be better expressed, comprising as they do conjunctions of distinct concepts. More...
