For this assignment, I chose not to use the ITP floor as a starting point since it was a little bit limiting. I wanted to have a blank canvas for my ideal space. I can’t draw well so I have resorted to pictures and lists in order to convey what this space would look like. [...]

This assignment has been a rather difficult one for me to grapple with since the community aspect of education is likely the most difficult part of the problem. It is very difficult to create a sense of community on the internet and people tend not to follow any rules or guidelines on the internet, in [...] Recently, I’ve found that I have been going to more educational events outside of NYU. I attended the Entrepreneurs Fest at NYU, which was a great learning experience and taught me many lessons about the startup world. I’ve been taking a Ruby on Rails class at General Assembly. That’s in addition to daily learning experiences [...] For this assignment I decided to give Popcorn.js a shot: kaminsky-itp.herokuapp.com. I used some pre-existing video from General Assembly. I added a few notes as well as a Twitter feed that searches the hashtag #MakingSomethingPeopleLove (the name of the video).

I uploaded this class because it sparked my idea for the final project: a site that keeps track of learning experiences in all aspects of life; not just online education, but traditional classrooms [...] Here is the very, very basic site I created: https://sites.google.com/a/nyu.edu/oef2/. Anyone can start a topic in the forum and discuss whatever class they want. Below that is class central which is a very helpful site that keeps track of upcoming MOOCs so I figured I would embed it.

It would help the socialization aspect of online learning and it seems like the websites aren’t integrating this sort of feature into their [...] The MOOCs that I tried out were Coursera, Udacity, and CodeAcademy. My favorite out of the three is Udacity, to the point where I’m very likely to finish the entire course that I started. I started out with the Intro to Web Development with Reddit and Hipmunk co-founder Steve Huffman. That was the thing that [...] |
