“With the spread of online games, virtual worlds and services like Google Earth and MySpace.com, people may soon be spending more time, communicating more and shopping more in complex 3D Web environments.” This quote is about the only thing I really understood. I will be perfectly honest; I really had to read this first article serveral times because it was difficult to understand. I understand that the chat type rooms of today and web based games or virtual games are all part of this growing computer form called 3D online or metaverse. I also understand that part of this new “lingo” of 3D online would come from what we have learned about Google Earth. If someone could please give me a simpler definition of what this 3D online (metaverse) means I would appreciate it.
The second article was a great article and put a lot of things into perspective for me. Instead of always taking the traditional way of teaching, introduce smart boards, computers, group work, hands-on activities, and “student-lead” instruction. The teacher at the beginning of the article used her computerized whiteboard to model the graph for the class, and allow the students to demonstrate the learning in a new way other than pencil and paper. I need to use the models presented in this article in my classroom. I feel like I use them to a point but not frequently.
