TED Siftables are cool

  • Artykuł

One of the guys at the office pointed me to a video of one of the coolest TED presentations I have seen. For those who don’t know TED is a conference and the letters stand for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

MIT grad student David Merrill demos Siftables: cookie-sized, computerized tiles you can stack and shuffle in your hands. These future-toys can do math, play music, and talk to their friends, too.

Check it out, I just love these little “blocks”

    I work for the IT Department for a School District in my City.  These are incredible little devices that I can see the Education system benefiting from positively for students.  Most people say, the best way to learn, is being 'hands-one'!  Does anyone know how / when I can purchase / buy these siftables?
