Interesting, but honestly don't think this is going to be a viable model for education, especially for CS education. The setup looks too cumbersome (and probably unreliable) as of today. And worse, there are just too many hidden parts which are sometimes faulty. This is bad because it creates a leaky abstraction; when the users see some abstraction (e.g. face recognition) reliable but others not, they'll have to work around the system and make up some ad-hoc solution. This might be useful for teaching social sciences (with manipulatable graphs, etc) but I'm afraid that this just confuses students more in certain subjects.
- nikofeyn 8y ago> there are just too many hidden parts which are sometimes faulty i guess you must live in a different universe than me if this doesn’t apply to “normal” and “viable” computer systems and cs education. the entirety of your post seems like you are just making stuff up out of thin air simply because it is different than what you know. have you used dynamicland? have you seen presentations on it? have you watched how it works? if something doesn’t work in dynamicland, you can just go and look at what isn’t working. it’s all there. a major component of bret victor’s work is seeing. watch his talk seeing spaces for some elaboration.
