510 begins
The course, Design of Technology Learning Environments has begun. It started with a sampling of Last.fm music. Choices, likes, dislikes and new music evolved as music samples were input, new tunes discovered and old favourites were enjoyed. I learned that there are many music genres that I enjoy and new tunes that I designated with a ‘heart’ or a ‘ban’.
The second task was to create a painting on Mr. Picassohead.(http://www.picassohead.com/). Through this website, artwork in the picasso style can be designed. There are many models as examples that spur on creativity.
Then, down to reading and responding to material about XO and One Laptop Per Child in relation to computer design and curriculum design principles.
