Keynote Talk

The Future of Thinking
Marc Stiegler, Visiting Scholar, HP Labs

Simple observation leads one to the conclusion, sometimes tragic and sometimes comic, that human beings do not think very well. There is, alas, a way to create worse thinking: by bringing a group of human beings together into a standards committee or a parliament. Here we look at ways in which the Web has already improved our thinking, and the ways in which the Web can improve our thinking in the future, with a special focus on the future of prediction markets.

NEW MEDIA DESIGN
Kristina Hooper Woolsey, New Media Thinking Project

The New Media Thinking project focuses on youth and media for learning: What new media skills are youth gaining spontaneously? Which of these should be systematically encouraged? How might these be developed when most adults and learning organizations are not expert in these areas? These issues will be the subject of this talk.

Panel

Who can afford wonderful ideas? On the infrastructure of ICT in developing countries

Moderator:Chigusa Kita, Kansai University, Japan
Panelists:Bernard Krisher, Japan Relief for Cambodia and American Assistance for Cambodia
Yumiko Mori, NPO Pangaea, Japan
Yoshiki Ohshima, Viewpoints Research Institute, USA
Topic: This panel is organized on the common theme between IWIC (International Workshop on Intercultural Collaboration) and C5 held at the same place and time frame. Since the C5 has been mainly organized by developers of Squeak, which is an open source program-ming language runs on any platform, some participants are interested in constructing computing environment for schools in developing countries. IWIC participants, of course, are also interested in computing and network infrastructure worldwide to collaborate with people who speak minor languages or live in remote places.
Such a beautiful picture of intercultural collaboration should be affordable to everybody, but how?
(IWIC participants are welcome to attend this panel.)

Workshop Program

Creating Multi-Intelligent User Experiences through Digital Media

Organizers: Benay Dara-Abrams, DALaboratories
Cassie Dara-Abrams, Connecting Youth to Youth and DALaboratories
Topic: In 1983, Howard Gardner published the Theory of Multiple Intelligences, stating that humans possess multiple intellectual capabilities rather than one single intelligence quotient. At this point, Gardner states that there are at least eight different intelligences that people use to process information. In addition, Gardner believes that these intellectual capacities are not only inborn but also they can be developed over time. However, most of our classroom instruction and many of the online user experiences we offer primarily activate two of our intelligences: Linguistic and Logical-Mathematical. Digital media can offer ways to activate and strengthen the other six intelligences: Spatial, Musical, Naturalist, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal. These other intelligences can be used as entry points into digital user experiences to attract and hold the attention of different populations of users who may not process information as well through their Linguistic or Logical-Mathematical intelligences.
In this workshop, we will use some online instruments and interactive activities to assess our own profiles of multiple intelligences. We will demonstrate digital media and applications for different populations (including youth and adults over 50 years old) that take into account varying profiles of multiple intelligences. We will work in groups to storyboard user experiences that activate different intelligences. Each group will then present its storyboard to other workshop participants for discussion.

Beyond Education: How can Squeak Make a Lasting Impression in Developing Commercial Software

Organizers: Tansel Ersavas, Blue Plane Pty Ltd.
John T. Magnifico, Blue Plane Pty. Ltd.
Topic: Squeak is an incredible tool and a medium already used very successfully for education, but is that it? Is Squeak a viable alternative to various development tools in the industry? What are other strengths of Squeak? What are applications developed in Squeak? What is required to make Squeak more appealing to development communities?
The purpose of this workshop is to show how Squeak is currently used to develop commercial software. We will provide examples from working systems and then discuss issues and areas of enhancement for Squeak to be a more powerful tool for collaborative systems development.
During the workshop we will discuss current tools that are used for collaborative, development and support in and outside of Squeak. We will start to determine the models, processes and systems that currently exist in other languages and how some or all of these mechanisms could be fully incorporated into Squeak. We will also highlight the impact such systems would have on the development of both educational and commercial software.
