Since we're pressed for time, here is the rest of the Mind Amplifiers* prezi. Please have a look and comment to this post with observations and/or questions. We'll reserve time in class next week to discuss whatever needs discussing.
[*The term "Mind Amplifiers" was coined by Howard Rheingold (site here, wikipedia bio here) who has been studying technology and media for longer than I've been alive. Howard wrote a book on Mind Amplifiers and he currently teaches courses on technology, journalism and virtual community (a phrase he also coined) at Stanford and UC Berkeley. He has also created a series of independent online courses. I used the "Mind Amplifiers" title with Howard's permission for this prezi, which I presented at an RHS faculty inservice on August, 2011. Howard remains a friend of the course and he will join us for an online conference later in the semester.]

DeleteWhat I observed in this prezi is that on the last video in the way that he was presenting I wasn't paying much attention to what he was saying, but to what he was doing. Just like non verbal communication (his body language. I also didn't know anything about QR codes until today.
ReplyDeleteImportant observations, Geraldine, thanks for sharing!
DeleteI also liked the verbal communication too and Dr. Preston i really didn't know about the QR either. I'm glad that their is different ways to learn new things then just reading out of a text book.
Deleteyeah like recently i've been noticing a lot of QR codes everywhere! How do you even make those little things that carry so much data?
ReplyDeleteI know! I was curious how to like make them work. (I don't know how to word that better.) I don't even have a smart phone so I feel like I am missing out on the fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that its cool to have so much stuff on a little QR code.
ReplyDeleteI think its pretty sick because i use the QR codes for things that have to do with shopping. So now that its involved with school related activities, it makes me feel like people care about our learning, and relating what we use now to out learning as a whole.
