Today I had the lucky chance of visiting a lecture of Donald Norman and it was a pleasure. The man is a great orator and he managed to get his point across very clearly, to the displeasure of a lot of the Industrial Design students and staff. But what was his point?

While I was working on some ideas that I had as a result of my Fontys session, I came to a conclusion. All my currently new ideas were based around the idea of collaboration within project groups. While not a bad thing, I got back to thinking about my original goal, which was to use tablets as a means towards improving education through collaboration.

Last friday I went to Fontys Eindhoven to have a creative session with two groups of students which are part of the Fontys iPad-project. They have been working with the iPad for around two months now and thus should have a pretty good idea on what its strengths and weaknesses are when using it for education. I visited the faculty of Communication and of the PABO.
The session consisted of a discussion about their current experiences with the tablet in their education and a brainstorm session for their associations about cooperation/collaboration and tablets.
The sessions themselves went great. I was rather worried that it would stagnate, especially during the brainstorms, but everyone kept the good ideas coming and seemed to have a good time. Thanks again to all the students and teachers that helped me.

A week ago, I was lucky enough to attend Game in the City 2010, a conference about game developing. While I’m not an active game developer myself, I am always interested in the latest news about it and in the inspiration that developers find for their newest games.
