When Curriculum Becomes Art Practice Art Education as Engagement with the World

STEPHEN CARPENTER: Welcome, everyone. It's good to have you here. I see some familiar faces and some less familiar faces. So that's fantastic. So what I wanted to do is prepare to talk. And within the talk, I have some images, a few videos to look at, and there's also a audience participation component, because that's just how I roll. We have to practice what we're up to. So this segment, this talk, is one that is looking at pedagogy as not simply pedagogical strategies in general but to look more at the ways that I translate this idea of pedagogy through lenses or filters of disruption or of criticality. And so part of the work that I do professionally is prepare teachers of art for K12. But I also work with graduate students as they conduct their research, I also do my own research in scholarly kinds of moves about the ways in which visual imagery, visual art, visual cultural production, functions, as modes or spaces for teaching and learning.

The Human Element in Machine Learning w Catherine D’Ignazio, Jacob Andreas & Harini Suresh (S3E5)

[MUSIC PLAYING] CATHERINE D'IGNAZIO: It's the human behavior that is making the brain of the machine. That is how you make the machine intelligent. SARAH HANSEN: Today on Chalk Radio, how the future of artificial intelligence and machine learning education might look a lot more human. JACOB ANDREAS: What's the difference between saying, you know, a restaurant review expresses positive sentiment, which is a very complicated social phenomenon, and saying that, you know, a picture of the number 9 is a picture of the number 9, which is much less complicated as a social phenomenon. SARAH HANSEN: I'm your host, Sarah Hansen. This week, we're talking with three interdisciplinary collaborators about their mission to foster a new kind of approach to computing technologies. They've created an assignment that challenges students to take a critical approach as they build the technologies of the future. CATHERINE D'IGNAZIO: I am Catherine D'Ignazio. I...

Quantum mechanics as a framework. Defining linearity

PROFESSOR: Very good. So it's time to start. So today, I want to talk about general features of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is something that takes some time to learn, and we're going to be doing some of that learning this semester. But I want to give you a perspective of where we're going, what are the basic features, how quantum mechanics looks, what's surprising about it, and introduce some ideas that will be relevant throughout this semester and some that will be relevant for later courses as well. So it's an overview of quantum mechanics. So quantum mechanics, at this moment, is almost 100 years old. Officially-- and we will hear-- this year, in 2016, we're celebrating the centenary of general relativity. And when will the centenary of quantum mechanics be? I'm pretty sure it will be in 2025. Because in 1925, Schrodinger and Heisenberg pretty much wrote down the equations of quantum mechanics. But quantum mechanics really begins e...

MIT OpenCourseWare Origins, Pathways, and Possibilities

it's preparing the live stream and then i'll just send the link i'll give give people like two minutes to settle in there's a link i'm going to click start webinar it's like mission control okay we're gonna get started good morning good afternoon good evening wherever you are and uh thank you for joining us for this webinar about mit open courseware origins pathways and possibilities i'm kurt newton i'm a director of opencourseware and we're just so glad that you're joining us today to review you know where we've been how we got here and where we're going just a uh a couple of quick notes to get us started there is closed captioning available which you can access uh on the zoom toolbar and we also welcome your questions uh please use the q a feature and we will make sure to save a few minutes at the end uh to to take to take a few of those we also have people who are manning that q a and maybe answering some of the quest...
