EBSCOhost: Implications of Mixed Reality and Simulation Technologies on Special Educat... - 0 views

  • This article focuses on technological innovations and their potential implications for students and teachers in our schools
  • No longer will we be immersed either in technology (such as a virtual reality world) or only in reality. Rather, we will see the blending of those two worlds, meeting the expectations of Generation M students while advancing education frontiers.
  • we recognize the potential for technology to level the playing field for students with disabilities
    • Cindy Hanks
       
      With the use of technology, some our our special needs students will have the opportunity to shine in areas that they have not been able to shine previously. I believe it is so important to give students opportunities to succeed as much as possible in order to not only meet their academic needs, but also to give them confidence and a feeling of accomplishment. We all need that.

Procedural Literacy: Problem Solving with Programming, Systems, & Play - 3 views

  •  
    This brief article is an early work by Dr. Ian Bogost related to what he would later refer to as "procedural rhetoric." In this piece Dr. Bogost draws parallels between various processes essential to being "literate" at different points in history. With what "processes" do we need to become literate as educators in the 21st century? How can we help others become literate?

    Through technology, if we can get our kids,and students to engage in a educational video game like they do with the wii, game cube and all the others we will have a better chance at reaching our kids. Most of these children can show you how to get to the highest level in games, why can't we learn how to teach our children to have the same drive in education. I think we can through technology, creating these educational games that get the kids into wanting to play them. First we ourselves need to know how to do it through technology.

    This sounds a lot like learning by doing. If students can't experience battle re-enactments, or visit musuems and historical sites, or travel to parks, or act out a story, technology might afford those luxuries. Computers, iPads, even smart phones can provide virtual field trips and experiences. Students can further share these experiences through social networking. As an older generation, I feel it necessary to keep learning how today's youth are communicating so I will be able to connect with them and bridge that gap in their education.

    Not a fan of Diamond, but I did like Guns, Germs, and Steel. As it relates to learning, I do agree that there is great benefit in constructing your learning. I imagine a day when we will be able to choose from a vast assortment of resources that will allow us to illustrate specific terms or concepts and from those resources we can build knowledge, sort of like a Lego model.

    If you love to use Google Earth with your students, then you will love this website. Google Earth is taken to a new level as you are able to drive through and over the cities and features of the world. My students love playing this game. It gives them a virtual 3D image of famous places like Mount Everest, the Leaning Tower, Magic Kingdom and many more.

Transforming Education with Technology - 0 views

    I could not have said this any better!! "... In the past, online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom. But going forward, interactions will be key. Just as people engage in online interactions-around virtual sports teams, cooking, or whatever-students will be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom" My previous online classes I felt really alone. There was no collaboration except for group assignment. We all had a name but no identity. However, in today's learning environment, online learning is anything but boring and lonely. There are endless ways to connect. Being able to connect with classmates/peers and share information can be very rewarding. .

    This is by far the best site the DOE has to offer. The curriculum maps are easy to design and there is a plethora of lesson plans for each standard for every grade level to work with. This is especially nice when you have little resources from your district!
