Looks like I'll be able to come to the first class (and hopefully join thereafter?) of "technologies for creative learning" at MIT -- the win of the day! First class is Sept 14th. The course description --
"Explores the design of innovative educational technologies and creative learning environments, drawing on specific case studies such as the LEGO Programmable Brick, Scratch software and Computer Clubhouse after-school learning centers. Includes interactive activities with new educational technologies, reflections on learning experiences, and discussion of strategies and principles underlying the design of new tools and activities."
I also heard back from a science policy expert at the public policy school who's class I was excited to take as an elective, but it turns out she's on leave this year. She invited me to join her fellows reading group. Academic consolation prize?
JZ's sister and niece came into town tonight -- the niece is moving into her dorm tomorrow (and I get to take a break and accompany on their epic Target trip.)
