What technologies (old, new, or emerging) might be most appropriate for your final project?
- While a library tour is not part of my current project, I can't help but mentioning that I experimented this past spring with taking our paper & pencil scavenger hunt and piloting the hunt using iPads. Yes, it did work, and yes, it may have added a bit more dimension to the experience, but in the end I decided that it really wasn't better. Sometimes a pencil & and piece of paper are the most effective and effecient tools.
- As to my current project, I'm piloting using Articulate Storyline because I'm trying to have the learning experience be as interactive as possible. Allowing for reading, viewing, listening, analyzing, answering, and reviewing the content information and developing research skills.
Does your final project align with any of the trends represented in the Horizon Report you reviewed?
The one trend that most closely aligns with my project is "Prioritization of Mobile Content and Delivery." As I'm making an interactive module to present the material, it's mobile implementation could be far reaching, both to face-to-face students and online students.
Now answer the first two questions posed in Consider section of the 5-Step Ed-Tech Integration Model from the How to Choose article.
Consider:
Will this application/tool enhance, improve instruction or motivate learners?
- Yes, it allows for instant feedback, review, assessment, and followup.
What similar applications/tools are there to consider?
- I tried SoftChalk, but found it lacking in design, interactive options, and responsive capabilities.
