References appear as credits at the end of the presentation, however I have posted them in text below the video screen.
NOTE: The volume may need to be turned up on your pc. For some reason, it is not as loud as before I posted. However, it is very loud if I use my headphones.

Tracee- Nicely done! Your video is very informational and it shows me how hard you have been working throughout the course. Your comments and discussions have been very well devised I just wish there would have been some background music to keep me focused, I found that while I was watching the picture I wasn't really comprehending what was being said and I think background music an more frequent video, text, or pictures would help keep viewers interested.

Thanks Kassidy. My group mates commented on that when we skyped last week. I attempted to add music but I could not get the levels just right, so I chose to do without it. I used Windows Movie Maker to do the presentation (this was new to me). I am more comfortable with Garage Band on my Mac, but I wanted to learn a new program which proved to be an experience. Thanks again for your comments.
ReplyDeleteTracee,
ReplyDeleteFantastic show of knowledge. I knew that gaming was a great motivator for participation, but I didn't realize the significance for boys in using this technology as mentioned in your research. I use a few gaming practices in my classroom. Did you find any valuable sites that you could share for elementary-aged students?
Thanks and once again, you did an amazing job!

Tracee,
ReplyDeleteThis is intriguing, as I am quite involved with using simulation for medical device training. One of them is a simulator for training on the touchscreen/user interface. You have given me the idea that perhaps for the next revision to make it into some kind of game. Especially for sales reps who can be fiercly competitive. Is there a resource that tells what essential element s need to be included, or HOW to make a game-minded tool effective? Has Wii entered the education market?
Thanks!!
Tracee,
ReplyDeleteCritical thinking has been coming up in a lot of the video presentations and is very important. I really liked your collection of different types of technology you displayed. Yes, attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction are all very important in any learning situation. I agree that games and simulations are a fun and active way for students to learn.
Good research on your topic and I think you did a very good job on your video presentation.

Tracee,
ReplyDeleteGood idea using a quote as part of the introduction to your presentation. The examples of video games and websites to use in specific subject areas is beneficial to the audience. As educators, when we learn about new techniques we want to have examples of where to go or what to use to accomplish our goals.
