From DSC: Expectations, today, are getting hard to beat<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Since Apple’s event yesterday, I’ve heard some conversations on the radio and reviewed several blog postings and articles about Apple’s announcements…many with a sense of let down (and some with the usual critical viewpoints by the backseat drivers out there who have never tried to invent anything, but who sure like to find fault with everyone else’s inventions and innovations).<\/span><\/p>\n

It made me reflect on how high our expectations are becoming these days!<\/em>\u00a0 It wasn’t enough that iCloud is coming on 10\/12 (and who knows the directions that will take society in). It wasn’t enough to introduce some serious software-based innovations such as Siri (which bring some significant advancements in the world of artificial intelligence) or AirPlay for the iPhone.\u00a0 It wasn’t enough to enter into the multi-billion dollar card industry with their new Cards<\/em> app for the iPhone.\u00a0 Wow…tough crowd. <\/span><\/p>\n

What might these announcements — and expectations — mean for education?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWell…I can see intelligent tutoring, intelligent agents, machine-to-machine communications, the continued growth of mobile learning, learning from the living room, the initiation of programs\/events caused by changes in one’s location, continued convergence of the television\/computer\/telephone, continued use of videoconferencing on handheld devices, cloud-based textbooks\/apps, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n
