How three disruptive technologies can work together to change the world as we know it

How three disruptive technologies can work together to change the world as we know it
K.R. Sanjiv, ReadWrite, 2018/06/20
I think this basic proposition is correct: "In the digital journey, AI, IoT, and VR are all significant levers to redefine processes for both businesses and consumers. But it’s the combination of the three that will be the most disruptive." The acronyms stand for artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT) and virtual reality (VR). The question is, how will they be combined. More...

How to Get Your Students Thinking Deeply With Photograph

How to Get Your Students Thinking Deeply With Photography
Raymond Yang, The Art of Education, 2018/06/19
People don't think of the camera as a type of technology, but of course it is, especially these days, and it has been an important tool in my learning technology toolkit for many years. So I appreciate this post on how to use photography to encourage students to think deeply about identity. I'm less a fan of the list of "the eight primary categories" listed. More...

Virtual memory palaces: immersion aids recall

Virtual memory palaces: immersion aids recall
Amitabh Varshney, Eric Krokos, Catherine Plaisant, Virtual Reality, 2018/06/19
The research being cited (15 page PDF) is about a very specific technique: memory palaces. The idea of a memory palace is to create an image in your mind, and to then associate each element of the image with something you want to remember. In the study, virtual reality is used to create a memory palace. More...

IBM’s Project Debater is an AI that's ready to argue

IBM’s Project Debater is an AI that's ready to argue
Roberto Baldwin, Engadget, 2018/06/19
Are we ready for an AI that can replace politicians? This is Project Debater', an AI that " listened to four minutes of its human opponent's opening remarks, then parsed that data and created an argument that highlighted and attempted to debunk information shared by the opposing side." The ways this could be misused are legion. More...

Distinguishing Between Factual and Opinion Statements in the News
Michael Barthel, Nami Sumida, Amy Mitchell, Jeffrey Gottfried, Pew, 2018/06/19

There's quite a bit of coverage online of this report that basicvally says that Americans are not good at distinguishing between news coverage and opinion. Here's Poynter, here's API, here's Knight. More...

SkyHive, a Canadian Technology Company Leads the Way on the Future of Work

SkyHive, a Canadian Technology Company Leads the Way on the Future of Work
Cision, 2018/06/19
Here's the press release, with pointless adjectives and grandiose claimes edited out by me: "SkyHive appl(ies) a skills-based, as opposed to job-based, match of work opportunities.(It uses) machine learning to extrapolate the technical and soft skills possessed by job seekers, as well as the hiring needs of employers.” This is something I've been talking about for some time.

EdTech is Driving Me Crazy, Too

EdTech is Driving Me Crazy, Too
Will Richardson, Modern Learners, 2018/06/19
The actual tl;dr for this post is probably something like: "Purveyors of ed tech are jumping whole hog on the socio-emotional learning bandwagon, but what if we attacked the mental health issues our kids are experiencing through a different lens, one that starts with the premise that we’re the ones that are broken, not the kids?" It's a good point. More...

Dank Learning: Generating Memes Using Deep Neural Network

Dank Learning: Generating Memes Using Deep Neural Network
Abel L. Peirson V, E. Meltem Tolunay, arXiv, 2018/06/18
I have a longstanding interest in memes as alternative forms of communication, and this paper demonstrating AI generated memes takes the conversation forward another step. The researchers fed the AI a series of images and associated captions, and the AI generated new captions. They are hard to distinguish from the original. More...
