Independent Learn Project #1

Me at the showcase!

1. For my learning experience, I went to the FSU school of education technology showcase. Here they had many displays of technology that can be implemented into classrooms. They had it laid our for students to come and personally interact with it. For example, they have VR (virtual reality) headset that could be used for kids to gain a better understand of a certain historical period or event. Technology like the virtual reality headset is something that can be put into a classroom and give the kids a more visual representation of the learning process.                                                                                                                                                                  More things they had available at the showcase were items such as 3D pens. One thing I really enjoyed during the showcase was the many different apps and extensions they had for iPads. Some schools get iPads for their classroom or even have each child get an iPad. Since they are easily available, the idea of apps and extensions for them is groundbreaking. You can do so much with it in the class and get cheap games that all students can play.    
2. Notes taken during: - There is a 3D pen station. It allows drawings to be brought to life. This could be used for engineering students to model what design they would want to make and create before they actually build it.                                                                                                                                  - There was a glowing white-board type product. This was a clear board so all sides of the classroom can see it and create a more ready to learn type of environment.                                          - There was many different iPad games, for example one was helping with foreign language and it make it easier and more user friendly.
