[APPLAUSE] So when MIT decided to commit to creating the MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing, it was clear to us that this was what we needed to do. What was less clear to us was exactly how we should do it. In a somewhat uncharacteristic fashion for an academic institution, we basically decided that we should simply declare our intentions to establish this college, then set about the business of creating the college together as a community. In that context, it seemed entirely appropriate that we convene an event like this to discuss how to teach computer science, not only amongst ourselves, but with experts and friends from other institutions. We also recently created five working groups that are contemplating various aspects of the College. Many of the members of those working groups are here to listen and learn today. And I'm confident that what we learn today will, indeed, shape our framing of the College. I want to thank the organizers for this event, in particula…

Many social theories are created by a number of sociologists and anthropologists. These theories deal with social and cultural revolution. Many of them consider technological progress as a primary factor to drive human civilization developments. Morgan divides social evolution in three stages including savagery, barbarism and civilization. These stages can be divided using technological milestones. Fire is a great example of such technological milestone. White suggested that energy is a great measure to judge the human Cultural Revolution. White strongly believed that harnessing the control  over energy is the primary function of culture. According to him, there are five main stages in the process of human development: Own muscles of humans are used as energy source Domesticated animals serve the energy In third stage, energy is derived from plants (agricultural revolution) Natural resources such as coal, oil, gas are optimized for energy In final stage, nuclear energy is harnessed T…

>> TECHNOLOGY PERMEATES OUR LIVES IN ALMOST EVERY WAY. EDUCATION IS NO EXCEPTION. FROM THE WAY TEACHERS TEACH TO THE DEVICES USED BY STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM AND AT HOME: TECHNOLOGY IS TRANSFORMING EDUCATION. EDUCATORS CONTINUE TO LEARN, TOO, KEEPING UP WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO HELP THEM BOTH IN AND OUT OF THEIR CLASSROOMS. THIS TRANSFORMATION DOES NOT JUST APPLY TO K 12 EDUCATION, POLICE OFFICERS CAN RECEIVE RECERTIFICATION FROM THEIR CAR RADIOS OR SMARTPHONES. WE'LL EXPLORE WHAT IS LEFT TO LEARN, WHAT RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE, AS WELL AS EDUCATORS KEEPING THE UPPER HAND, AS WAYS TO INTEGRATE CONTINUE TO EMERGE. WE WILL TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS ON THE TOPIC TOO. ON TODAY'S EDUCATION INSIGHT. >> AND WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EDITION OF EDUCATION INSIGHT HERE ON ETV. A PROGRAM WE HOPE YOU'LL BE A PART OF TONIGHT. WE HAVE A GREAT PANEL HERE OF PROFESSIONALS WHO WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW THE CLASSROOM IS CHANGING AND HOW TEACHERS ARE ADAPTING I…
