Research shows that hands-on learning is an effective way to teach students science. A 2009 study found that eighth-grade students who were involved in hands-on science projects demonstrated a deeper understanding of concepts than students who were taught with traditional methods such as textbook readings, lectures, and tests (Riskowski et al., 2009).

Why is hands-on learning effective? We can look to neuroscience for insight. Students who participate in science experiments, instead of just observing them, have a deeper conceptual understanding of science. Through brain imaging, researchers found that physical experience activates the sensorimotor region of students' brains, which helps reinforce what they're learning (Kontra et al., 2015).

If students use their hands as well as their minds, they're essentially learning twice.

The purpose of this essay is to present a grander vision of an educational system in which technology is used not in the form of machines for processing children but as something the child himself will earn to manipulate, to extend, to apply to projects, thereby gaining a greater and more articulate mastery of the world, a sense of the power of applied knowledge and a self-confidently realistic image of himself as an intellectual agent. Stated more simply, I believe with Dewey, Montessori, and Piaget that children learn by doing and by thinking about what they do. And so the fundamental ingredients of educational innovation must be better things to do and better ways to think about oneself doing these things.

I claim that computation is by far the richest known source of these ingredients. We can give children unprecedented power to invent and carry out exciting projects by providing them with access to computers, with a suitably clear and intelligible programming language and with peripheral devices capable of producing on-line real-time action.

#Coding, A NEW Trend In #Education And A BIG #Responsibility

https://gustmees.wordpress.com/2014/08/24/coding-a-new-trend-in-education-and-a-big-responsibility/

via @knolinfos #ModernEDU with/about #ICT #PracTICE

We saw tons of new stuff at CES this year. But one thing that particularly caught our eye was Kubo, the robot that teaches kids how to code.

Kubo is a pretty simple robot – it’s about the size of a can of soda and has two wheels that allow it to roll around a desk or table. But what it lacks in advanced physical ability it makes up for in brains.

Kubo comes with its own programming language called TagTile. The language consists of puzzle pieces that fit together to give Kubo instructions. For example, you could connect three pieces together – forward, turn, then another forward. Kubo then drives over these pieces oncer to “learn” the command, then can remember and perform it without needing the pieces.

Kubo reads the puzzle pieces using an RFID technology – each piece has an individual embedded RFID tag, and Kubo itself has a reader built in.

While it sounds simple, it’s a pretty good way to teach kids the basics of programming without having them stare at a screen.

If you want to build your own gadgets using the Raspberry Pi but don't have the kit or even a Pi, there could soon be another way to get started.

Microsoft is building an online Raspberry Pi simulator that allows users to write code to control emulated hardware, and that currently lets users interact with an LED and collect data from a sensor.

The simulator shows a graphic of a Pi wired to a combined humidity, temperature, pressure sensor and a red LED via a breadboard, a plug board that allows circuits to be wired together rapidly. Users can type in a side panel to enter Node.js JavaScript code, which can be used to control the LED and collect dummy data from the simulated sensor. That code can be executed using a command line at the base of the panel.

Vorwort zum Handbuch „Oh, wie cool! Oh, wie cool!“ hat ein 10­jähriger Junge bei der offenen kreativen digitalen Werkstatt „Maker Days for Kids“1 in Bad Reichenhall im April 2015 mehrere Minuten lang immer wieder gewispert, als er seine selbstgebastelte VR­Brille auf der Nase hatte und in die Tiefen der 3D­Welten von Achterbahnen und Jump­And­Run­Spielen eintauchte. „Oh, wie schön“ dachten sicher etliche der Eltern, als sie bei der abschließenden Ausstellung die Acrylbilder bestaunten, die nicht nur aus Collagen von unterschiedlichen Materialien und Farbe entstanden sind, sondern die auch noch mit funkelnden LEDs bestückt waren.

Und irritiert waren wohl die Ehrengäste bei der Abschlusspräsentation der „Maker Days for Kids“, als sie auf einmal selbst der Game­Controller waren, mit dem ein von Kindern programmiertes Spiel gelöst werden musste. Making, also das kreative Gestalten und Selbermachen, insbesondere mit digitalen Technologien, ist aufregend und spannend. Solche Making­Aktivitäten faszinieren Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene. Technisches Verständnis, kreatives Problemlösen, soziales Miteinander und handwerkliches Geschick werden dabei ganz nebenbei trainiert. Keine Frage, dass es für uns galt, die Erfahrungen der „Maker Days for Kids“ aufzubereiten, zu verbreiten und auch mit Erfahrungen von anderen Making­Aktiven zu ergänzen.

Nach den „Maker Days for Kids“ war das der erste offene, kostenlose Online­Kurs zum „Making mit Kindern“ auf der Plattform iMooX.at im Herbst 2015. Mehr als 600 Teilnehmer/innen haben sich bis zum Februar 2016 am Kurs beteiligt. Die Projektbeschreibungen des Kurses wurden nun für dieses Handbuch ergänzt und mit weiteren Texten versehen.
