Candidates demonstrate the knowledge necessary to create, use, assess, and manage theoretical and practical applications of educational technologies and processes.
Link to lesson here. I’m hard at work on my next project creating a physics and programming curriculum using the Unity 3D Game Engine (Unity3d.com). I’ve been kicking the idea around for a while but just have not had the...
In my Teaching and Learning in Virtual Worlds course we have been challenged to teach a lesson in a virtual world to the rest of the class. Something I have always wanted to do was build learning experiences in Second...
I’m three weeks into two courses on VR and AR for education and so far I’m a bit disappointed in both. I was similarly disappointed when I signed up, did all the paperwork for, and brought Google Expeditions to my...
The first step in getting anything used in the classroom is to train the teacher. So when it comes to using Minecraft in the classroom there is a really steep learning curve. I say it’s steep partially in jest, because...
This is a project showing “Fading” in a worked example screencast. This is a physics problem where you are given the time it takes for something to drop and you need to calculate how high the object fell in that...
The Personalization Principal states that using a conversational style rather than a formal style of communication is better for learning and understanding. This makes sense, as a teacher you should always meet your learner where they are. This doesn’t mean...
The above image shows a Prezi I created explaining both the Modality Principle and the Redundancy Principle of Multimedia Education.
Here is a link to my Haiku Deck Presentation on the Fast for Nonviolence. The Fast for Nonviolence – Created with Haiku Deck, presentation software that inspires. My multimedia program participates in a yearly project called the Fast for Nonviolence....
This is what’s called a Sketchnote. A Sketchnote is a graphical way of taking notes or illustrating learning. Doing a skechnote on material learned makes the learner process the information in a deeper way than just reading, hearing a lecture,...
The entire Evaluation Report is linked here. Summary The San Leandro Academy for Multimedia (SLAM) participates in an annual service learning project called the Fast for Nonviolence. Students in the Fast create media campaigns on a non-violence topic they are...
Moodle, Forum, Badges, hangouts, oh man. A Moodle site and a forum would be the ultimate beginnings of the blended learning approach I want to create with my multimedia academy and classes. We have classes and students throughout the day...
Whew, I’m done with this Semester. This was a difficult one due to the theory-rich nature of the courses I was in. But I learned a lot. You have mostly seen my graphics work lately from my Graphic Design for...
Learner description I created the graphic above to show the structure of a Unity script in my Game Programming and Physics book. My targeted readers are high school physics students or readers interested in learning the topics I write...
Organization is not something I am strong in. So when I started this project to create an organizational graphic, I have to admit I struggled. But in looking at what I have done so far with my Game Physics and...
Users The graphic above is meant for readers of my book Game Physics and Programming. Readers are usually high school students in my physics classes or readers who have purchased the book online. The book assumes a basic understanding of...
I created these two graphics after reading a chapter of Lessons in Visual Literacy by Linda L. Lohr called The Selection Principle. The Selection Principle describes how readers need to be able to see what’s important in an image to get...
The ACE model, which stands for Analyze, Create, and Evaluate is a model that explains the design process (Lohr 2008). Using this process, I created the above cover for my book Game Programming and Physics. Analyze Right from the...
In my Boise State Graphic Design for Learning course we were assigned to find or produce a graphic that demonstrated universal design that relates to visual literacy. I looked around, Googleing this and that, but nothing really hit me as...
When I tell my friends that I am studying Educational Technology they never ask me what it is. If you’ve known me for more than a few hours you know that I am an educator that embraces the use of...
