Download or read book The Flickering Mind written by Todd Oppenheimer and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flickering Mind, by National Magazine Award winner Todd Oppenheimer, is a landmark account of the failure of technology to improve our schools and a call for renewed emphasis on what really works. American education faces an unusual moment of crisis. For decades, our schools have been beaten down by a series of curriculum fads, empty crusades for reform, and stingy funding. Now education and political leaders have offered their biggest and most expensive promise ever—the miracle of computers and the Internet—at a cost of approximately $70 billion just during the decade of the 1990s. Computer technology has become so prevalent that it is transforming nearly every corner of the academic world, from our efforts to close the gap between rich and poor, to our hopes for school reform, to our basic methods of developing the human imagination. Technology is also recasting the relationships that schools strike with the business community, changing public beliefs about the demands of tomorrow’s working world, and reframing the nation’s systems for researching, testing, and evaluating achievement. All this change has led to a culture of the flickering mind, and a generation teetering between two possible futures. In one, youngsters have a chance to become confident masters of the tools of their day, to better address the problems of tomorrow. Alternatively, they can become victims of commercial novelties and narrow measures of ability, underscored by misplaced faith in standardized testing. At this point, America’s students can’t even make a fair choice. They are an increasingly distracted lot. Their ability to reason, to listen, to feel empathy, is quite literally flickering. Computers and their attendant technologies did not cause all these problems, but they are quietly accelerating them. In this authoritative and impassioned account of the state of education in America, Todd Oppenheimer shows why it does not have to be this way. Oppenheimer visited dozens of schools nationwide—public and private, urban and rural—to present the compelling tales that frame this book. He consulted with experts, read volumes of studies, and came to strong and persuasive conclusions: that the essentials of learning have been gradually forgotten and that they matter much more than the novelties of technology. He argues that every time we computerize a science class or shut down a music program to pay for new hardware, we lose sight of what our priority should be: “enlightened basics.” Broad in scope and investigative in treatment, The Flickering Mind will not only contribute to a vital public conversation about what our schools can and should be—it will define the debate.
Download or read book Audiovisions written by Siegfried Zielinski and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De productie, de distributie, en de waarneming van bewegende beelden zijn onderhevig aan een radicale transformatie. Doordat steeds snellere computers en digitale technologie kracht bundelen, ontstaat er een nieuwe vorm van 'audiovisie'. Bijna niets zal hetzelfde blijven. De ooit 'normale' media voor het uitdragen van film - de bioscoop en de televisie - blijken niet meer te zijn dan een intermezzo in de geschiedenis van de audiovisuele media. Dit boek interpreteert de veranderingen niet als cultureel verlies maar als een uitdaging: de nieuwe 'audiovisie' moet anders benaderd worden om strategische interventie mogelijk te maken. 'Audiovisions' ondersteunt deze benadering op historische wijze. Door te kijken naar 100 jaar, van het eind van de negentiende tot aan het eind van de 20ste eeuw, laat het zien waarom de bioscoop en televisie als eindige, culturele vormen gezien moeten worden. Tevens is het boek een pleidooi voor ' blijvend kracht' van studies naar culturele technologie en de technologische cultuur van film. Essayistisch in stijl, is het boek gestructureerd rond verschillende historische fasen. De beelden en bij de tekst zorgen voor supplementaire informatie, contrast, en aanvullend commentaar.

Download or read book EDISON MOTION PICTURES written by MUSSER CHARLES and published by Smithsonian Books (DC). This book was released on 1997 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book provides essential documentation of all known Edison films made between 1890 and 1900. Thomas Edison and his associates at the Edison Laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey, invented the first system of commercial motion pictures." "Making the historical framework predominant while retaining traditional cataloging features, Edison Motion Pictures, 18901900 is of value to a wide range of scholars interested in American life at the turn of the century - those working in performance studies, film and media studies, cultural history, ethnic studies, and social and political history. Documentary filmmakers, film programmers, archivists, and librarians can also benefit from using this catalog." "Edison films from the end of the nineteenth century offer a unique visual record of American entertainment and popular culture - moving images that become much more interesting and useful when they can be examined in conjunction with pertinent documentation." "Scholars concerned with portrayals of war, depictions of the American presidency, and many other topics in the nation's political history will find much useful information."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Magic Shadows written by Martin Quigley and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-07-21 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of "magic shadows" which just before the dawn of the twentieth century evolved into the modern motion picture, was born three centuries ago, in Rome. Just at the appointed hour for Kircher's show, a few distinguished Monsignori, in flowing purple were driven to the entrance in their carriages with a mounted escort. Nothing like Kircher's show had ever been presented before. He had chained light and shadow, but the suspicion was held by some of the spectators that there was a dark magic about it all and that Kircher had dabbled in the black arts.

Download or read book Television written by Raymond Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Television: Technology and Cultural Form was first published in 1974, long before the dawn of multi-channel TV, or the reality and celebrity shows that now pack the schedules. Yet Williams' analysis of television's history, its institutions, programmes and practices, and its future prospects, remains remarkably prescient. Williams stresses the importance of technology in shaping the cultural form of television, while always resisting the determinism of McLuhan's dictum that 'the medium is the message'. If the medium really is the message, Williams asks, what is left for us to do or say? Williams argues that, on the contrary, we as viewers have the power to disturb, disrupt and to distract the otherwise cold logic of history and technology - not just because television is part of the fabric of our daily lives, but because new technologies continue to offer opportunities, momentarily outside the sway of transnational corporations or the grasp of media moguls, for new forms of self and political expression.
