Multi Touch Screens & Our Time Capsule October 30, 2006

We combined these two thoughts into one activity.
** What are multi touch screens? – thanks to Lindy McKeown for this link
(Lindy posted that great comment for our famous Leeroy Jenkins post)
http://cs.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirtouch/index.html check out the video
How could we use these screens in our learning?
The video is also available on ‘YouTube’ (which is filtered at school)

What might be ‘old school’ in 25 years time?
Are interactive whiteboards nearly old school now?? 
** We celebrate our 125th school birthday this Sunday. In another 25 years time we can all get back together to celebrate 150 years in 2031!
What could we put into our time capsule that
a) tells something of our present and past
b) tells something of how we think the future might be in 2031

Hi,
I think that we should put a news paper in the time capsule
because the news paper might change in the next 25 years.
Also we should put a award winning peice of CHILD’S WORK
because I would imagain that, that would change 4 sure.

hello,
For something that represents our past & present
we should put in a newspaper.
For something that represents the future I think we
should do a page of writing & a drawing of what
we think
I think they are realy cool because you can move stuff around & mix colour’s.
