3D Virtual Events technology to re-create classroom online? - 2 views
-
3D classroom created for learning would be helpful where cost cutting measures are required without compromising on the quality of instruction, it would also help in giving confidence to students who are shy to interact in real life to collaborate in the virtual world, speak their minds and raise questions without fear or hesitancy

Spongelab goes for the love of the biology game - CBC News - Technology & Science - 1 views
-
Genomics Digital Lab (GDL), an interactive online gaming program from Toronto-based Spongelab Interactive that was designed for high school and college-level biology and science students. What's unique about GDL is that it turns cell biology into a progressive learning world full of battle scenarios, puzzles, and races against time. In other words, it makes learning fun.
-
The germination of the whole idea came during his studies when he realized complex cells comprise a 3D dynamic system that simply can't be taught easily in a two-dimensional setting.
-
A key to GDL's success is the fact that it can be delivered via a web browser, so no matter how rich the content, it can be used in class, at home or anywhere else one might have access to the internet.

A 3D computer animation of the axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) procedure on Vimeo - 1 views
-
The first (or at least most comprehensive!) 3D visualization of this kind of surgical procedure; arguably these kinds of animations are superior to 2D animations for showing anatomy. Next step for education: interactive surgical media?
-
These kind of videos would be helpful for medical students to watch in their surgery clerkship before observing a particular surgery, especially since anatomy curriculum has been shortened and cut throughout national medical school programs.
Maturity of technologies - 1 views

Media tablets, private cloud computing, and 3D flat-panel TVs and displays are some of the technologies that have moved into the Peak of Inflated Expectations, according to the 2010 Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle by Gartner, Inc.

Interesting to see public virtual worlds in the "trough of disillusionment," poised for "enlightenment," while augmented reality is nearing the "peak of inflated expectations," heading for a crash.
Learn With Portals -- popular game free through 9/20 - 2 views
-
Portal is a fun, innovative 3D first-person game known for its unique physics gameplay and sense of humor. It's over 4 years old now, but still enjoyable and clever. It's been used in education as a way for students to explore physics, and also as a gameworld ripe for student content creation. The game is available as a free download for PC/Mac through 9/20.
Quest Atlantis - 1 views
-
A 3D multi-user environment that immerses children in real-world, socially and academically meaningful activities. Ran across this doing some research for the VPA. It's the richest example on an online learning environment that I've seen, and similar to something I'd envisioned but dismissed as not currently realistic--apparently I was wrong! I would love to give this a test drive.
See Rome as it is and as it was | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog - 1 views
-
Relating to the discussion last class about potential directions AR and mobile apps may go -- this iPhone app allows users to experience a location (in this case, Rome) as it existed in the past. Provides images and historical info for all users, but if the user is actually at the Coliseum, it uses the iPhone camera + gps and presents actual 3D renditions of the past of whatever is in the user's viewfinder
Ed Tech Makes Consumer Electronics Association's Top 5 Trends - 0 views
-
"Technology in education is one of the "prominent technology trends expected to influence the consumer electronics (CE) industry in the years ahead," according to the 2013 edition of "Five Technology Trends to Watch," a report released this week by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). The other four tech trends identified were the future of 3D printing, next-generation TVs and displays, the evolution of the audio market, and the mobile revolution in Africa." Basically goes on to state that parents and students support more ed tech (which I think has come up in a couple other articles, too).
What to test instead - Ideas - The Boston Globe - 2 views

A new wave of test designers believe they can measure creativity, problem solving, and collaboration – and that a smarter exam could change education.
-
Reengineering tests has become a kind of calling for a group of educators and researchers around the country. With millions of dollars of funding from the federal government, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as from firms like Cisco Systems, Intel, and Microsoft, they have set about rethinking what a test can do, what it can look like, and what qualities it can assess.
