2. Let’s
start!
• Cable
linking
iphone/ipad
to
screen,
projecNng
this
presentaNon
• I
fell
down
from
my
bike
–
my
cell
phone
was
of
utmost
importance!
• On
vacaNon:
3G
mobility/roaming
• Almost
everybody
has
got
a
smartphone
those
days
• Tablets
vs
desktop
vs
notebook

3. My
netbook
solves
them
instantaneousl!
...
And
does
also
solve
logic
problems/quizes

4. If
everyone
in
the
world
computed
just
an
addiNon
per
second...
It
would
perform
like
my
notebook!
(and
their
names
would
fit
into
its
memory
too!)

24. Microsok
Augmented
Reality
Concept
Fuses
Virtual
World
with
Reality
• Microsok
researchers
have
created
a
new
augmented
reality
concept
by
improving
how
virtual
simulaNons
react
in
the
physical
world.
• The
Kinect
sensor
is
used
in
a
process
called
Kinect
Fusion,
which
allows
projecNons
of
objects
to
react
to
different
surfaces.
Kinect
Fusion
is
possible
with
the
Beamatron
—
a
device
consisNng
of
the
Kinect
sensor
and
a
projector.
It’s
aCached
to
a
spinning
head
in
the
ceiling
and
allows
it
to
take
detailed
maps
of
physical
spaces.
• This
technology
projects
objects
anywhere
in
a
room
and
allows
realisNc
movement.
It
bumps
into
objects
such
as
table,
chairs
and
walls.
Plus,
the
simulaNon
is
never
distorted
when
crossing
over
bumpy
surfaces.
• It’s
now
possible
for
virtual
objects
to
interact
within
physical
spaces
like
never
before.
The
projector
can
sense
what
is
going
on
in
the
room
and
shows
changes
in
seconds.
• In
a
video,
Andy
Wilson,
Microsok
principal
researcher
drives
a
3D
image
of
a
toy
car
around
a
room
with
a
remote
control.
It
bumps
into
walls
and
drives
over
hills.

30. LEGO
robots
in
the
laboratory
• Researchers
at
Cambridge
build
LEGO
robots
that
automate
Nme-­‐consuming
laboratory
processes
at
a
fracNon
of
the
cost
of
a
"real"
robot.
• We've
talked
here
before
about
the
extremely
important
(and
oken-­‐overlooked)
DIY
aspect
of
science.
ScienNsts
are
makers.
They
have
to
be.
The
tools
they
need
oken
aren't
available
any
other
way.
Other
Nmes,
the
tools
are
available,
but
they're
far
more
expensive
than
what
you
could
construct
out
of
your
own
ingenuity.

anatomy.
According
to
a
statement
released
Monday

the
university
recently
closed
its

55. Some
ideas
• Everyone
should
hava
a
fast
and
quality
access
to
Internet
• Everyone
should
have
a
mobilde
devide
(smartphone,
tablet)
• Everyone
should
be
able
to
obtaing
formaNon
i
basic
digital
skills
• Safe
social
networks,
e-­‐mail,
etc…
should
be
a
CiNzen
Right
• TwiCer:
should
be
make
a
Public
Affair:
it
will
become
history,
it
will
enter
history

56. More
thoughts
• The
metaclassroom
–
should
students
bring
their
own
devices?
• Society
of
interrupNon,
society
of
distracNon
• Blended
learning:
the
future?
• MAKE
movement:
the
future?
• Having
60
people
in
class
is
a
privilege
for
the
professor
• Having
a
professor
that
explains
things
in
a
different
way
and
integrates
knowledge
is
a
privilege
for
parNcipants
• The
youtube
generaNon?

Iffrah,

• Science

• InvenNon

the
character
of
discovery,
but
it
is
a
disconvery

59. And
now,
three

• EducaBon
is
not
a
preparaBon
for
life,
It
is
life
itself
• Your
aTtude
is
a
choice
• EducaBon:
there
is
a

Thus:
CommunicaNng
Science
is

aƒtude.
Everyone
