VR in the classroom

Article on the use of ICT's in education. Topic of our WAR this week.

A great post that reminds readers about the transcendence of narrative writing across genres (and across subjects!) The teacher uses historical and science fiction as inspiration for her ELA students' writing projects, but ideas, such as the "What if . . ." digital presentation project she mentions from Larry Ferlazzo could be used in almost any subject. The author's ideas for having students prove their informational research are also very helpful. I loved reading the post, too. Her, "Nobody puts baby in a corner," quote made me laugh out loud.

This article explores and discusses research in faculty's literacy of technology and their aptness to incorporate technology in their curriculum - Very relevant to this week's WAR2 assignment on technology and pedagogy!
