3D classroom? Is this really what we want?
admin October 11th, 2011
Geekdad at WIRED asks, “Is 3D in Classrooms Just a Gimmick?”
The post includes a video touting new 3D technology that will change your classroom forever. The video claims that 3D technology is the interactive tool that will improve behavior, increase attention, raise test scores, gets students working together, and create their love for learning.
What did I see? Dark classrooms full of students watching a teacher lecture.
They could be sleeping behind those dark glasses.
The video references student engagement seven times but if recall and remembering are your evidence for engagement, why even bother integrating new technology? We can do that with any old chalkboard, worksheet, or textbook.
