The Wired Store, as part of their green tech merchanitis, recently added the Botanicalls Twitter DIY kit, an arduino/x-port based DIY kit. Detailed instructions for building the twittering-plants seem to indicate this could easily be utilized in a high school grade 9-12, if not middle school, classroom. The x-port configuration and arduino code looks [...]
If you havent checked out the Education Arcade project give it a look. It looks at commercial game aspects in education in part, which is a tricky distinction. I had read an earlier book a couple of years ago, “What Video Games have to teach us about Learning and Literacy” by James Paul Gee, which [...]
UPDATE: (April 2010) Science has spoken: two years after this post was written, a paper in Nano Letters will “[demonstrate] that this system is capable of a memory and learning process called spike timing dependent plasticity.” The memristor brain proof-of-concept awaits the slow approach from paper to prototype fabrication.
