Technology anf future #edcmooc

 These two videos show the close future with applying new media techologies in education. Both are bright and imaginating:

1. A Day Made of Glass

2.Bridging Our Future


Pretty magnetical picture, I wanted to get all this at once )

Some thoughts about the video.
- Education
In the first clip we saw the encyclopedic way of teaching. And media technologies are perfect here. In a short time the class got great deal of information with numerous variations and examples. And this technological teaching is not only presentation. Different touch-screen devices let children make their own projects in real time. So intensive and productive education..
The second video shows even more productive way of teaching. Students make their working project based on technologies only. They choose a model, upgrade it, print details with 3D printer then collect a real model of bridge. This real model shows how virtual technologies may become objective. And this is a good metaphor of technological future.

- Communication
Both videos illustrate the way of communication in modern society. It's not future already. All technologies shown in these clips are based on digital information which can be conduct easily from on device to another. People (and machines) are perpetually changing information - words, pictures, sound and everything converted into bites of information. And these information streams make a basis of the new digital culture.

- Utopia-dystopia
This glass world  look bright and surely utopian. It's a world with smart people using fast and useful tools. So why not to get such future, I don't object.. )
