| The
Educational Space Simulations Project |
The purpose of this web site is to promote the development
of education via simulation. Although the primary focus of this
site is space simulations, the concept of education via simulation
is applicable to a wide range of disciplines. |
| Educational Transformation through Technology
at MIT |
As MIT develops and adapts technology—and
applies it to education—the daily experience of students
at MIT and around the world is transformed. The fruits of this
effort are maturing from mere promise to broad and sustainable
impact. At MIT we are becoming the change we want we want to
see in the world.
Through case studies and a sampling of MIT educational technology
projects in the Project Gallery, this site presents a snapshot
of MIT's education technology development from 1999–2005. |

| Self
Esteem Game |
Inspired by the face-in-the-crowd paradigm, EyeSpy teaches
people to look for the smiling/approving person in a crowd of
frowning faces. By doing this repeatedly and as quickly as possible,
this teaches people to look for acceptance and ignoring rejection.
In order to successfully and accurately identify the smiling/approving
face, one must get in the mind frame “Look for acceptance,
and ignore rejection because it slows me down”. |
