I hope more people support this project. Not only because lowering the barriers for Processing programming is an exciting thing to do but also because this could be repurposed for other languages (the code will be released under GPL). Full

For what it's worth, in the past 4 months I've got 46% IE visits (out of 5.5M). http://i.imgur.com/9NqYq.png If I look since March 2007, then I get 54% IE visits (out of 39M). http://i.imgur.com/gV4BY.png This is for http://www.quantca

This application made me feel dumb. I downloaded it to my Droid. It asked me for my name. Then it asks me to take a self-portrait, I do it, it shows the picture, I click OK. It goes back to the camera UI ready to take another picture. Uh? O

Someone from Norway told me that Angry Birds became popular first in Scandinavian countries because of a famous athlete mentioned it in an interview after he had lost an important match. Apparently the athlete had wasted so much time on An

This might be semantics but after reading your comment it makes me feel like Kahn Academy is an improved version of the present of education. The future of education, in my mind, is still a world where we kids get to be apprentices of rea

I see your point. But the key here is choice. You chose to go to the gym and do repetitive exercises. You probably do this in part because you want to be healthy and it makes you feel good. Do some kids want to do repetitive math exercises?

You're right. He does talk about teachers having more time for mentoring, which is great. But I guess my concern is mainly about people's re-interpretation of his message.

I think you're right regarding Khan Academy not necessarily being in opposition to Papert's Constructionism. But I think Papert would argue that learning math is very much like learning programming. In fact, he created the Logo programming

The Khan Academy is not the future of education. Don't get me wrong, I think they're doing a superb job and I'd encourage people to contribute to their efforts. Khan is obviously a great presenter with a remarkable ability to explain com

Can you explain more about your setup? I didn't know about this and it sounds very interesting (I was considering using Backupify)

I have not RTFA but equating content delivery with education seems risky. Yes, Khan Academy videos are engaging and often better than getting content from books, but education is much more than content. Education is also about building, cre

Extrinsic motivation, like stars or money, can be effective but it can also have undesired consequences. For example, when the stars go away, the kid might end up not doing that activity at all or disliking it even more because s/he does no

The discussion forums of the Scratch online community ( http://scratch.mit.edu/forums ) have turned, unintentionally, into some kind of a tween Reddit. Example: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewforum.php?id=46 We're still trying to figur

In Mexico they are called nini's (_ni_ estudian, _ni_ trabajan). They often find "better" opportunities joining organized crime/drug cartels. This, in my opinion, is one the main challenges that need to be resolve in order to end violence i
