In fifth week, Daniel Dillon presented his
work like virtual reality, 20 times project, and Mat School V. Traditional
School. Also, he talked about how they got idea and how they have been working
on this idea. I noted that how important is professional development because he
insisted to us for going to attend ISTE conference. He also said they got idea
about VR from conference.
Virtual reality is very useful in
mathematics topics like geometry, vector analysis, and we know that any topic
in math which is always connected with graph. Generally we draw the graph in 2-
dimension. We need graph in 3-dimesion before this idea, I had used MATLAB
software in which we can write 3 to 6 lines programs and after that we get 3
–dimension graph and this software are also costly. And first time I heard that
virtual classroom for learning. Benefit of that type is students are more
engaged, memorized and understand, this three-thing helpful to get good score
in their study as well as well as decrease the stress level in exam time.
I also liked his second idea about the
collaborating working means project work. He talked about how we get idea about
20 time project. Project work also applicable for any class like kindergarten
to university and we all know that doing is better than reading. This is first
step to do some innovative work. Because I know my math professor making big
money in India because they used their math skills in project work. Also, some
students are also helping them in project work and in thesis and they also get
money.
Finally, Both topics are really helpful in
teaching and learning . I know, the devolvement like this take lot of time and
need more related thought but we can develop this by using from some practice.
Thank you Daniel Dillon and Dr. Nantais to give me this knowledge.
I had never thought to use virtual reality for math concepts but that is a very good idea. I think it goes to show just how many possibilities there are for virtual reality in all different types of subjects
ReplyDeleteHi Khayti,
ReplyDeleteI also really liked his 20 Time Project idea. I think it is important to give our students some freedom in being able to choose what they want to learn about. This project gives them the opportunity to learn about something that they are passionate about. I also liked what you mentioned about the possibilities of virtual reality. I never thought of using it for something like mathematics, I always thought of using it for something like geography.
