Sherry Lassiter is a former science documentary television producer, writer, director who decided she wanted to become a part of the story, rather than just telling other people’s stories. To that end, she changed careers (after 18 years in the TV biz), coming to MIT and working at the Media Lab with Prof. Gershenfeld. She was fortunate to see the personal fabrication movement in its nascent form, and watched it evolve over the years. Though hired as a manager, she followed personal fabrication from the Media Lab into the Fab Labs, finding that there was a secret tinkerer hidden in her psyche. Since that time, she has become a passionate fab labber, believing in the idea and the zeitgeist. She spends a good part of her time now fabricating, spreading the fab gospel, and running the Fab Foundation and international fab lab network.

Jeff Borden pearson Brad McIlquham Knewton Tuesday, June 12 9:00 am–12:00 pm Thomas Paine A Many argue that personalized/individualized learning is the way of the future. But questions arise when discussing the pedagogical, ethical, and practical logistics around this education for one concept. The presenters will examine how data, social tools, and new online reporting are making personalized learning possible. Additionally, they will discuss ethical implications as participants are shown just how far down the personalized road we might go. Finally, they will discuss at what point personalization becomes the wrong path, and how they can try to achieve balance through digital means, and will review examples of individualization from several visionary leaders and cutting-edge technologies currently re-landscaping fields beyond education.
Zen of Teaching Antonio Vantaggiato Universidad del Sagrado Corazon
Tuesday, June 12 9:00 am–12:00 pm Molly Pitcher Myths surrounding the technology involved in teaching and learning are plentiful: Students attend face-to-face classes, but watch online lectures; courses can be delivered like a hamburger, the same for everyone.
