This is an interesting task to ask of students considering many stories have a linear format. They usuaslly follow the beginning middle and end formula, but with the addition of a virtual world where time can change, stop, and restart again the students and create a story line that may never end, or that could return to the beginning (much like the film Pulp Fiction).

Why do we (educators) need to sugar coat, or secretly teach subjects? Shouldn't we be innovative and work hard to make the subject matter relevant and of interest to our students wthout trying to trick them into learning?

now than at any other time in history, identity formation has become precarious and problematic for adolescents.

3rd world farmer: This game gives the user the ability to place himself or herself in the life of a farmer in a 3rd world country where having a shed or electricity is a luxury. Where $50 spent on a shed can mean your wife can't get medication. The game discusses the gamble farmers living in a 3rd world country have from year to year, when their livelihood and health depend on their crops or livestock. This came can be an asset in a classroom discussion focused around global conflicts and or an agriculture lesson. The game can be sued to experience farming through someone else's eyes. This game gave me the change to reflect on my education as a young student, and remember played the RPG The Oregon Trail. This game was similar in theory to the 3rd world farmer because the user became a character in the game, their was thought and critical analysis of a situation that went along with the play aspect of using computer games or game systems.

The Garbage game: The garbage game allows students to visually see what impact and decisions they can make even before the garbage truck is introduced as an option for trash removal. The game was interactive, and allowed the player to think, but I don't really think that it would be very effective. The images used are cartoonified, and doesn't really reflect the true amount of garbage dealt with on a daily basis. I think that is this was used as an introduction or supplement to a lesson on recycling or environmental sciences it could be useful, but don't believe it is engaging enough to keep students attention for a long period of time.

I think Voice thread alone, is a great tool we can bring into the classroom.
-
What I was thnking about while listening to the YouTube video and this Voice Thread, is that it sounds like so many educators are TEACHING the technology, rather than USEING it. It sounds like a lot of educators aren't confortable enough with the programs or software to be able to use it effectivly in their teaching practice. I think if we are allowing our students to use say power point for their presentation of a report, than the actually creation of slide shoudl come last. The program use should be used as a supplement.

I really like the idea of this page. The CCMixter can be used in so many ways. Since we were dicussing gender with Jen's lesson, that s the first thing that popped into my mind. If i had a classrom, and was planning a VC lesson on gender, I would use this website in tandem with maybe a movie mixing site, or machinima site. Usng this website as part of the students resources would be great.

The gender identiy of this postcard is a little harder to decifer. Being that washington is made of of mostly men, I would think male. But the paper and pink and the ink is blue so it appears the author was trying to make this gender nuetral, and more about what they wrote and the imagery than about the gender defined by the card.
-
After reading the article, I think that the gender of the author if this postcard is female, trying to either be gender nuetral or male. It jsut seems like the author was trying to hard in reguards to ambiguity. Like the article said, it seems a little lengthy in its explination, or punch line, which is a feminine trait.

This postcard at first glace give the impression that the author is a female, considering the "life model" is male, but with another concideration and the background we know about this website and it is place where people make confessions, we could think the author was a male who has a secret more thank lusting after the model, and more with his own sexual identity.

Simply, if television or movies are used in place of textbooks or novels or poems, students will not learn how to read as effectively. Study after study has shown that using new media is not a horrible tool to assist in teaching, but that using these medium as a primary resource takes away from students the ability to develop their imagination and creative thinking. That, of course, goes against the very goals of teaching. If this becomes commonplace – perhaps the teacher is using “new media” as the primary tool in the classroom because it is easier to set up or because it requires less planning – the long-term effects on the students can be troublesome.

This reminds me of the theory behind relational art making and practice. There may not be a solid result of tangible piece of art in the end of the lesson, but the art exists in the gray matter.
