EDAD660 (2010)

On day 6 we covered a wide range of topics.  Here are the highlights:

1. We began class with a discussion on video games can be used for educational and developmental purposes.  The slides from this talk can be found under the Lectures page.
2. Next we explored Scratch and experimented with creating our own simple interactive modules.
3. After our first break we began a discussion about Virtual Worlds with a specific emphasis on how they are being used by colleges and universities.  After that we logged into Second Life and explored TCNJ Island.
4. In the afternoon we talked about Podcasting and how the technique is currently being used in classroom settings.  The slides from this talk are available under the Lectures page.  Afterwards we explored how to use Audacity to record and edit our own audio files as well as create our own podcasts using our blogs.
