Internet Champion: February 2013
http://antaera.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2013. To illustrate further, when a child first sees a red ball that she has never seen before, she experiences its properties. She immediately apprehends it; she apprehends the color red, the roundness of the ball, the smoothness of its texture, and so forth. She then develops a concept of the object as ball; a concept that is independent of all the properties previously encountered through the senses. Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Tuesday, February 12, 2013. We all have our beliefs ...

Internet Champion: Meeting Iqra
http://antaera.blogspot.com/2013/03/meeting-iqra.html
Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Viggo inspecting the equipment. So when am I meeting the kittens? You gotta materialize for that to happen, and I am NOT calculating the wave function so you can be here.". Blaaaaaah. Well what if I did the calculations . would you do it then? Iqra' looked at me imploringly as I pondered. Fine," I groused and laid out my equipment as Iqra' performed her mathematical derivations. When Iqra' was finally done with her calculations, I proceeded to follow her scribbles. Playmates and ...

Internet Champion: April 2013
http://antaera.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 9, 2013. This is why I must play. One of the first video game genres that I started out with was Real-Time Strategy games like Command and Conquer. Near your borders. So. I'd have to shake many pointed sticks at them until the point gets across. Which brings me to my point. And I do have a point somewhat. I actually despise. The notion of conquest - you know, the kind that brings suffering to other human beings (like say, drones. Perhaps it's somewhat poetic that I met my husband online - ...

Internet Champion: Spontaneous play
http://antaera.blogspot.com/2013/03/spontaneous-play.html
Sunday, March 17, 2013. Later, when I chatted with my respondent off the record, he noted that spontaneous play can most definitely emerge from planned play. This is of great interest to me given my design tendencies - what kinds of play would emerge from designed play? How would it align itself to the designed objective and how would players make sense of the discrepancies (if any) that may arise? Can we as designers create environments that might predict these sorts of emergent play?

Internet Champion: December 2009
http://antaera.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 7, 2009. De chilldran kanst nut reed! We know youths love netspeak and shortening everything under the sun. Liek, hu dun noe dis? On crafts and gender. However, Diane posited the idea that these crafts could be an entry-point for these little girls to get into programming at a young age. I could get into that. Immensely fun making poofy skirts, and even the sewing wasn't terribly hard. At the end of the day however, I have more questions than I do answers. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Internet Champion: On privileging play
http://antaera.blogspot.com/2013/04/on-privileging-play.html
Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Need play to survive sometimes does not feel right. April 3, 2013 at 6:06 AM. Also, could it be that this is a story of deprivation of play, something that when we think of human/childrens rights on a global scale, and seek to ensure they have play in their lives thta we wish to watch out for? These are the things I ponder.Just because some survive without play, do they indeed thrive? April 3, 2013 at 6:28 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Internet Champion: October 2011
http://antaera.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 17, 2011. Could the box model, even if abstract, serve as a basic notation system that can affect other genres and social niches? How does abstraction work as a principle, and is there an underlying model that we can use to understand different forms of media? How does abstraction help us understand the fundamental representational form of Scratch, which is quite concrete? Tuesday, October 4, 2011. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Internet Champion: November 2011
http://antaera.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 13, 2011. One of the key concerns about the use of technology is whether it is able to serve all populations of people in such a way that it allows them to achieve valuable functionings (Sen, 1984). I won't go into detail into Sen's argument here, since I am using capability approach. As a way to discuss Warschauer's (2008) analysis of the digital divide. So what does economics have to do with technology? Tuesday, November 1, 2011. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Internet Champion: September 2011
http://antaera.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 19, 2011. From the macro to the micro. Intention of the designer (e.g., cognitive tutors). Successful learning as such, depends on the perceived. Affordances of the designed technology. Perceptions of affordances however, are drawn from the lifeworld, as well as the presence of others. As noted by all the authors, successful use of the technology used in the classroom depended on social interactions with peers and teachers. Monday, September 5, 2011. Model Version 1.0. As I ponder on th...
