EDT 321 Ch 4 ~ Human and Artificial Intelligence

After reading Chapter 4 post a comment here. Include two things you learned and one thing you still wonder about in Chapter 4.

I was surprised by this quote, “we won’t experience 100 years of progress in the
21st century—it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today’s rate).” I agree that progress is happening at a phenomenal rate… But this is beyond comprehension.

I agree with this quote by Sir Ken Robinson, when he argues that “our educational system at all levels is designed to stifle some important forms of creativity.” Worksheets, coloring within the lines, even walking in a straight line, may tend to stifle creativity, but without some organization there would be chaos. So how the big question is, how can we encourage creativity without creating chaos?

After reading this quote; “If we understand the human mind, we begin to understand
what we can do with educational technology.” (Herbert A.Simon)
I wonder how I can use the tools at hand to make learning more meaningful for students.
