The Augmented Web: Simplifying Augmented Reality In Education The Augmented Web: Simplifying Augmented Reality In Education by Maria Politis, Head of Content and Community at buildAR If you spend time on twitter looking at the #augmentedreality and #edutech hashtags you will know that there is quite a lot of discussion going on about Augmented Reality, and how it can be used as an educational tool. The web is full of innovative examples of how Augmented Reality is used in classrooms around the world every day. The ability to overlay digital content and information onto the real world, using triggers like images and locations opens up a world of rich learning opportunities. There is a wide range of Augmented Reality applications for the classroom currently available and real, practical uses of the technology are easy to find. Misunderstanding The Complexity Yet there still seems to be a widespread belief that Augmented Reality is difficult to implement. How Does Browser-Based Augmented Reality Work? Want To Learn More?

Education Week Rae Fearing, Educational Technology Coordinator and STEM Coordinator for Del Norte County Unified School District in Crescent City, California was quoted in CUE's spring publication, OnCue as saying, "Anyone can AND SHOULD know how to code. It is the universal language of our digital future." In May, 2013 Mitch Resnick, LEGO Papert Professor of Learning Research, wrote an article for EdSurge entitled, Learn to Code, Code to Learn: How Programming Prepares Kids for More Than Math. In the article, Dr. In addition to learning mathematical and computational ideas (such as variables and conditionals), they are also learning strategies for solving problems, designing projects, and communicating ideas.

PER CODEX AD ASTRA: Scratch Jr är här! Om en vecka befinner jag mig på MIT på Scratchkonferens. Pirr i magen redan nu av förväntan. Så lämpligt då att ScratchJr har släppts för iPad, så att jag kan roa mig lite innan jag åker. Jag gillar speciellt att det går att lägga in egna bilder, precis som i webbversionen för de äldre. Jag saknar att kunna gå till specifika koordinater, men kan förstå att det förenklats bort. Att allt bygger på symboler och inte språk är ett annat plus. Det här är mitt och fyraåringen andra försök. Jag tycker att det var lätt att komma igång, även för en sån som jag som envisas med att inte läsa instruktioner förrän det kniper.
This is your brain on knitting Sarah Huerta says knitting has helped her overcome post-traumatic stress disorder and extreme anxiety. Crafting can help those who suffer from anxiety, depression or chronic pain, experts sayIt may also ease stress, increase happiness by releasing neurotransmitter called dopamineLeisure activities such as reading and crafting may protect brain from aging, study finds (CNN) -- Her brother's sudden death in 2004 hit Sarah Huerta hard. In the years that followed, Huerta couldn't leave the house without suffering a panic attack. She hated getting in cars since her brother's body was found in one. She couldn't seem to hold down a job. Her physician diagnosed her with post-traumatic stress disorder and extreme anxiety. Her husband gave her knitting needles. Huerta was skeptical at first. "That's when I seriously started crafting," Huerta said. This story is part of CNN Health's "Inside Your Brain" series.

Koodauksen ABC: Scratch Vedin tänä syksynä ensimmäistä kertaa elämässäni koodauskerhoa. Kerho kokoontui keskiviikkoisin (2h) ja siellä kävi säännöllisesti noin kymmenen 5.-7.-luokkalaista. Aloitimme ohjelmointiin tutustumisen pelaamalla code.org:in ohjelmointipelejä. Scratch-peleissä vaikeinta taisi olla oman peli-idean löytäminen ja siinä pysyminen. Lopulta vain 2 oppilasta sai oman Scratch - pelinsä valmiiksi, lopuilla into lopahti joko siksi, että en osannut aina neuvoa heti kun ongelma ilmeni tai pelin loppuun saattaminen olisi vain ollut liian hidasta. Joulukuuhun mennessä 2D-hommat oli osan mielestä "jo niin nähty", että he halusivat että asennutan koulun koneille 3D-mallinnusohjelman (Blender). Aivan kaikki eivät Blenderistä innostuneet vaan jatkoivat Racketillä koodaamista. Keväällä jatkamme koodailua ja uutena juttuna aloitamme Lego-robottien rakentamisen ja ohjelmoinnin. Kerhon vetäminen on ollut mukavaa mutta myös opettavaista.
cnet In an announcement that likely won't surprise gamers themselves, researchers who analyzed the behaviors of thousands of online gamers -- mostly those playing massively multiplayer online role-playing games such as World of Warcraft -- found that loners are the outliers, not the norm, and that online gaming can actually enhance one's social life. Reporting in The Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, researchers at North Carolina State University, York University, and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology say they traveled to more than 20 gaming events in Canada and the UK that ranged from 20-player events in bars to 2,500-player competitions in convention centers. After observing thousands of gamers in these settings, the researchers conducted an in-depth survey with nearly 400 of them. "Gamers aren't the antisocial basement-dwellers we see in pop culture stereotypes; they're highly social people," Dr. Of course, Dr.
10 Problems That Parents Can Have With Minecraft • Snagglebox “I hate Minecraft. I want to kill it with fire.” A friend was ranting to me in an email about her kids fighting over the game and running into problems on a multiplayer server. She’d well and truly reached her limit, and was thinking about banning Minecraft from her house altogether. She’s not alone - there are loads of parents who are baffled, frustrated or tearing their hair out over their kids’ passion for playing in this blocky little world. But it’s important to remember that Minecraft was never specifically designed with kids in mind, and so naturally there are aspects to the game that can be a problem for families - including a couple of things that have the potential to cause some major drama. The good news is that all of these things are fixable and shouldn’t prevent you from letting your kids harness the very real benefits to the game. 1. One of the confusing aspects of Minecraft for many parents is trying to understand exactly what their kids are doing when they play. 2. 3. 4.

Research: Online Gaming Expands the Social Life of Gamers Gaming Research | News Research: Online Gaming Expands the Social Life of Gamers By Dian Schaffhauser04/10/14 People who play massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) may notprefer the company of avatars to live humans after all. In fact, reports new research supported by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory, online gaming expands players' social lives. Researchers from North Carolina State University and Canada's York University and University of Ontario Institute of Technology found that online social behavior doesn't replace offline social behavior in the gaming community. "Gamers aren't the antisocial basement-dwellers we see in pop culture stereotypes; they're highly social people," said Nick Taylor, lead author of "Public Displays of Play: Studying Online Games in Physical Settings" and an assistant professor of communication at North Carolina State. In fact, he added, a player could be "ruthless in a game and still socialize normally offline." About the Author
