The classroom in 3D
Can 3D technology really boost student learning? This is the question raised by the developers of the new three dimensional projector and the Colorado School District that is implementing a pilot program. What I recently read seems favorable. But the big question is how many companies are ready at this time to provide a 3 D curriculum. Personally I think this will be a great way to enhance visualization especially in those hard to comprehend areas of geometry in which the ability to illustrate complex spatial relationships would be enhanced. Additionally,what about frog dissections in biology? Wouldn't this next movement ultimately allow us to maximize the student's experience? Students are used to seeing 3 D movies now more that ever. Why not enhance their learning with this method as well. Just think about the possibilities, students could experience virtual museum tours or look at works of art in addition to many other opportunities.

3D classrooms? Wow! What would that look like is the first thing that came to mind. Thanks for the geometry reference. That helped me to visual what a 3D classroom could be like. I would be fascinated to learn the program just to teach the class. If they are looking for volunteers I will be the first to pilot. lol!
