Well, the semester is almost over and I am looking forward to a break! The 3D learning Ning discussion allowed me to vent a little. I really think that Second Life is a waste of students' time. I tried to access it in a previous class but couldn't even thougy my video card was on the "approved" list. That was the final straw for me!
What is being done with SMART technology is exciting, however. The use of multiple SMART Boards is a great way to "immerse" students into the learning activity. This technology is ideal for kinesthetic learner, especially younger students with less developed small motor skills.

Hey Jim,
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to a little break too. I won't get much of one but I will take what I can. Thanks for putting up information about the SMART technology stuff, I will be looking at that in a few weeks to understand...I had no idea until you mentioned it.
Did someone say break?! Yeah!! I'm actually done as of May 8th for good. I'm a little nervous though. For too long I've balanced work and school and now (because I'm a teacher) in a matter of weeks I will have neither. While the break is much needed and deserved I'm afraid of getting restless. Ha! You can never satisfy a woman!
ReplyDeleteYou've been awesome to have in this class. I'm so impressed with your knowledge you have brought to the table. I've really enjoyed reading your blogs and have learned a good deal from you. Enjoy your break!
And oh yeah, I agree with you and Second Life. I'm not buying into the concept and want nothing to do with it!
Jim, I would love it if you would email me some CSS examples. I'm really interested in learning more about it. Thanks!
