Siftables The Future of Educational Technology?

I just got around to catching up on some TED (ideas worth spreading) videos of interests. After watching a recent video on Siftables “cookie-sized, computerized blocks you can stack and shuffle in your hands”, I began to wonder if maybe we’ll see something like this in elementary schools in the near future. Technological building blocks!

   

 

      

The reason I really love Siftables and would love to see it in classrooms is because it has the potential to adapt to a child’s learning behavior, rather than forcing the child to learn the technology’s behavior. This is something that I know a lot of my peers struggle with. Siftables allows for much more flexibility of the mind and the way we solve problems.

What do you think: could you see "siftables” making its way into a school near you?

  1. I really love the intuitiveness of Siftables. A child can use it without reading a f*cking manual.

  2. Hey Corvida,

    I hear you on the TED thing. I get new ideas and applications every year I see these videos.
    I hope to one day be in attendance both in the audience and ultimately on stage. Siftables is an awesome idea for learning. I can see him marketing that word game alone just to see about raising money for all other applications.

    Thanks again for the video and when you get the chance check out the one I put on my Twarketing.com blog.

    All the best
