The immersive human cocoon a digital experience that was conceived by a man formally of the MIT Media Lab

The immersive human cocoon a digital experience that was conceived by a man formally of the MIT Media Lab | Technology Advances | Scoop.it

We all need our own space to think, unwind or to clear or heads; some of us create den’s or man caves to label a spot within our homes to call our very own. What if we were able to go beyond the escapism of a computer, a mouse and an external experience and instead become the interface?

 

Combining our need for time alone with the advancement of technological features that span farther than our imaginations, would you be intrigued?

 

The immersive human cocoon is a digital experience that was conceived by a man formally of the MIT Media Lab, John Underkoffer, and its 360 degree prototype was developed by NAU out of Zurich, Switzerland; a dome that is fully equipped with motion sensing software giving you a true 3D experience.

MDM and BYOD: A square peg for a round hole

MDM and BYOD: A square peg for a round hole | Technology Advances | Scoop.it
While mobile device management will always be in use in the enterprise, thankfully, a better option exists.

 

In fact, it seems the only group not excited about BYOD is IT – the ones who have to figure out how to keep sensitive corporate information safe. IT's consternation over BYOD is made worse by the fact that many think mobile device management (MDM) is the only tool available to contain the risks associated with BYOD, which is not the case.

 

MDM will always have a place in the enterprise because BYOD will simply never be the right approach for every employee. However, when it comes to BYOD implementations, MDM is not ideal. Thankfully, a better option exists. Mobile application management (MAM) presents an intriguing option for preparing for and avoiding the hazards of BYOD.

"Digital-Divide" Is Not an Excuse to Avoid Implementing a BYOD Policy at Your School

The 21st Century Principal

 

I do not buy into the argument of "no access for anyone until everyone can have it." Instead, I think we must do what Marc Prensky argues which is to find ways to "Bridge and eliminate this digital divide" and provide digital access to our students. As Prensky suggests, we are going to have to accept that there is always going to be some inequality, but there are things we should be doing as educators to mediate the impact of the digital divide, and trying to keep the playing field level by refusing anyone access until all have it is not the ethical thing to do.

 

As educators we must be concerned with our "students wanting or needing access to a minimal level of digital technology and not being able to get it."
