Engage your Students with DyKnow

Janet Thorson, Rachel Valka, Livia Santos, Eileen Ford
Duchesne Academy, All Girl's College Preparatory School in Houston Texas
Duchesne Academy is a PK-12th grade, all-girl, Catholic, college-preparatory school in Houston, Texas. We began our 1:1 program in 1998 and our Tablet PC program around 2004. Duchesne adopted DyKnow approximately 8 years ago. Faculty and students collaborate in DyKnow Vision particularly in Middle School math, religion and foreign language programs. Additionally, DyKnow Vision allows students who are not present in school to participate as if they were in the classroom, and also gives all of our students the ability to save and review lessons as needed from home. DyKnow Monitor is used throughout Middle and Upper School for classroom management during independent work, during lectures, and during assessments. It has given back control of the classroom to faculty and ensures that they are comfortable knowing that their students are on task and not distracted. DyKnow Vision engages students at Duchesne, while DyKnow Monitor gives faculty the assurance that their students are active participants in class.

Randall Davis: Pen-Based Interaction in the Classroom and The Clinic


This talk will describe three projects centered around pen-based interaction. PhysInk is a system that makes it easy to demonstrate 2D behavior by sketching and directly manipulating objects on a physics-enabled stage. Unlike previous tools that simply capture the user’s animation, PhysInk captures an understanding of the behavior in a timeline. This enables useful capabilities such as causality-aware editing and finding physically-correct equivalent behavior. We envision PhysInk being used as a physics teacher’s sketchpad or a WYSIWYG tool for game designers.
We have all had the experience of drawing data structures on a blackboard to illustrate the steps of an algorithm. The process is tedious and error-prone, and even when done right the result is still a collection of seashell-dust on slate. Seeking something better, we have begun developing CodeInk, a system that provides a direct manipulation language for explaining algorithms and an algorithm animation tool embodying that language. CodeInk allows instructors and/or students to describe algorithm behavior by directly manipulating objects on the drawing surface. Objects on the surface behave appropriately, i.e., as data structures, rather than simply as drawings.
Finally, ClockSketch is the first member of a family of applications that may revolutionize neuropsychological testing by capturing both the test result and the behavior that produced it. By capturing data with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution, we have discovered very subtle behaviors that offer clinically interesting clues to mental status. This offers the possibility of detecting diseases like Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia far earlier than currently possible.

Barbara Tversky: Thinking with Hands

The content of thought can be regarded as internalized and intermixed perceptions of the world and the actions of thought as internalized and intermixed actions on the world. Reexternalizing the content of thought onto something perceptible and reexternalizing the actions of thinking as actions of the body can facilitate thinking. New technologies can do both. They can allow creation and revision of external representations and they can allow interaction with the hands and the body. This analysis will be supported by several empirical studies. One will show that students learn more from creating visual explanations of STEM phenomena than from creating verbal ones. Another will show that conceptually congruent actions on an ipad promote arithmetic performance. A third will show that when reading spatial descriptions, students use their hands to create mental models.
Barbara Tversky is a cognitive psychologist who spent many years at Stanford University and is now at Columbia Teachers College. She has done research on memory, learning, mental models, spatial thinking and language, event perception and cognition, diagrammatic reasoning, visual narratives, creativity, and gesture, with applications to many areas of design, graphics, computer interfaces, and the arts.
