"Brain Rules" John Medina Video...http://www.brainrules.net/brain-rules-video
Vision trumps all other senses, picture says a 1,000 words
- Hear it, remember 3 days later 10% of the time
- Hear it and see, remember 3 days later 65% of the time
The Power of Video:
-Todd showed us several 3-4 minute clips which are on his webpage. Examples are below.
- Text is...
- Technology and Education: student produced video
- bozemanscience.com-Posted science videos
How will I use this technology in my "local" vision?
-Start a family blog
-Use these new applications (Dropbox, blogger, Google apps, iTunes U., Slideshare, Evernote, Twitter account)
-Share and collaborate with my staff
-Create time for them to innovate and use technology
Reflection:
Unfortunately, this class in only a week. There is so much to learn and I feel that I have only begun to understand all the resources that are available. For each of the programs, tools, and apps. we have learned, I could spend at least a week playing with it and trying to figure out how to implement it into my practice. Take for example the work with did today with iMovie. I barely understand the program after about an hour playing with it. Imagine what I could do if I really spent time learning how to use it.
"Vision trumps all senses." If we really want someone to remember something, we need to create visual media displaying our message. I like the idea presenting information in the form of a video. The task seems daunting because of the time it would take to make a quality video, but I know for sure that the more I use iMovie, the more proficient I would get at using it.
For my final project presentation, I incorporated the ideas about presentations that we learned yesterday...simple, visual, and clear. I am eager to hear and gather feedback from my colleagues about my presentation. In keeping with the spirit of learning new technology, I created my presentation using a web based program that I have never used before. The presentation program is called Prezi. I feel I am adept at using Powerpoint, but this program is fairly easy to use and much more interactive/entertaining.
My presentation took me about twice as long to create in Prezi than it would have in Powerpoint, but I am sure the next time I use this program, it will not take long at all. As I may have stated before, I often learn more from my mistakes than doing things right the first time. Using Prezi, I made a lot of mistakes, but in the process I feel I really learned how to navigate the program. Learning for me needs to be hands on and I appreciated getting the opportunity to play in iMovie today as well as learning about Prezi while doing my presentation.
I look forward to hearing about everyone's presentation tomorrow. Thank you again for reading my blog.

Great thoughts about what you're learning. Can't wait to see your Prezi tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your presentation in prezi. I used the google presentation application and I was underwhelmed with the capabilities and I wish I had explored prezi.
ReplyDelete"I often learn more from my mistakes than doing things right the first time." Isn't this so true! And often if I get it right the first time, I don't recall it as well as those things I really had to work on, but I also remember it much better when I get to work with it repeatedly. I'm excited to see your presentation (and learn more from it) :). Good luck!
