Casper Wang – 44637586 – 8/5/2020 As modern technology is constantly evolving, so is the direction of the digital world. Nowadays, modern schools are pushing more and more technology based learning as the Australian curriculum requires students to develop Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capability as they also learn to use ICT effectively and appropriatelyContinue reading “Topic 8 – Digital Games and Design”
Topic 7 – Virtual Reality in Education
27/04/2020 Virtual Reality is a trending and immersive technology based upon the user interaction and immersion into a digital world. Typically, VR immersion involves user adorning a pair of VR ‘goggles’ to view the virtual world in three dimension; as if the user has just entered a new world. Furthermore, VR also allows user controlContinue reading “Topic 7 – Virtual Reality in Education”
Week 5 – Topic 6 Augment Reality in Education
Casper Wang 12/4/2020 Augmented reality has increasingly introduced new possibilities for teaching and learning. The coexistence of virtual objects and real environments allows learners to visualise complex spatial relationships and abstract concepts (Arvanitis et al., 2007), experience phenomena that is not possible in the real world (Klopfer & Squire, 2008), interact with 2D & 3DContinue reading “Week 5 – Topic 6 Augment Reality in Education”
Week 4 (post-COVID) – Robotics
Casper Wang – 31/3/2020 In the last few years, robotics in education has slowly emerged in the form of a robotic model being behaviourally controlled by a virtual environment. However, the educational purpose and theories behind this robotics were limited to introductions to robotic technologies in STEM subjects and had minimal pedagogy support in suchContinue reading “Week 4 (post-COVID) – Robotics”
Week 4 – Computational Thinking – Micro:bit
Casper Wang – 44637586 – 30/3/2020 When someone says that they have a computer that is smaller than their palm, would you believe them? With technology evolving at an exponential rate, modern technology has allowed the development of pocket-sized computers, and that is exactly what Microbit is. Microbit is an affordable small computer chip thatContinue reading “Week 4 – Computational Thinking – Micro:bit”
Week 3 – Sketchup
EDUC 3620 Week 3 Technology: SketchUp As the world evolves through the digital age, the technology application too begins to evolve. One such application is “Sketchup”. A free 3D modelling software which allows users to ‘make anything they can imagine, without downloading anything’. From an educational perspective, Sketchup is an important ICT designed tool buildsContinue reading “Week 3 – Sketchup”
Task 1: Learning Technology Criqitue: 3D-Printers
7/3/2020 Written by Casper Wang 44637586 As the global economy continuously evolves, 3D-printers are becoming more interesting and common in schools around the globe. It operates in ways that extrudes molten plastic through a tiny nozzle that moves around a targeted area under computer-controlled precision (Woodford, 2020). In recent times, 3D-printers are integrated into classroomContinue reading “Task 1: Learning Technology Criqitue: 3D-Printers”
