The class brought up some great insight about A Whole New Mind and it really gave me some clarity on the reading. Brian and Erica presented podcasting, which they have been modeling for several weeks on their blogs. They gave us some excellent tips and created a fantastic demonstration. Their PowerPoint was very detailed and easy to follow and I am excited to incorporate more podcasting into my work.
Gordon spoke about Second Life, which is a program I have never used. However, I have had students who have gone on Second Life. This virtual world opens up an international component filled with fantasy. People use it for a variety of things: business, socializing, etc. I enjoyed how Gordon talked about the educational applications of the program and how collaboration takes place. Empowering students is often a fun approach to education. I like how the virtual world can replicate periods in history or works of art. Virtual field trips are a fantastic component. Personally, I would rather focus on my real life than on a second life, but can see how it would be fun for learning.
Eric presented information about Mobile Learning, which is great for collaboration tool with diverse formats. Eric reflected on the information and provided great insight and analysis. I love the idea of having education and collaboration in the palm of my hand.
