The Dailylounge.com has an array of great videos and great people that they work with– like tech expert Manoush Robin. Check out this superb array of creative tools that not just help kids to learn, but help them apply what they have read or practiced and turn it into a real world useful thing– whether it’s a photo, a map or an app– there’s a lot here that can be useful for students of any age.
Shelly Blake-Plock, (formerly of Johns Hopkins and Teachpaperless.com ) currently with Digital Harbor Foundation encouragesw teachers and students to go out there and make/create stuff — actually do stuff. In this age of social media and the Internet, where students are accustomed to having a voice and sharing it, it is no longer enough to read a book and take a test. You must create. In a recent study conducted by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and BrainPop teachers using games in their classrooms discovered their students became so excited that they were motivated to make their own.
Here are a few of the products that are setting students’ imaginations free to learn on their own, to explore, and that are motivating them to create. Featured are:
LittleBigPlanet for the PlayStation Vita
TI-Nspire CX from Texas Instruments
Stratasys “u-Print Plus” 3D Printer
This is WAAAAAAAAY cool technology and you can see how kids, teens, college and adults would find these things so innovative that you have to buy at least one thing– if not two. It’s exciting. It makes learning fun!!
