desktop and web – media for creative thought – at least sometimes
DESCRIPTION
Personal computers (still) use the desktop metaphor to provide a familiar working environment. In addition, the browser grants access to the world wide web of information and communication. But the lack of focus on creative thought processes in almost any tool prevents the computer from being a flexible medium for personal learning experiences. http://www.mprove.de/script/09/cognitivedesign/index.htmlTRANSCRIPT
