Day Four Reflection
I was quite mesmerized by the RS Animate Talk today. The beautiful graphic illustrations,almost font like handwriting of the illustrator, metaphor images and especially the ability to make connections for the observer. It is an example of entertainment education that can be highly engaging for students. It would make for a great class project, to have the students create one. A great way to allow our more artistic students to shine. I was struck by the statement, "We have to think differently about human capacity", and yes, as educators we must. I am encouraged to think outside the box in ways that can and do reconsider our students and teachers human capacity as learners.

I would love to see a class attempt something like this. Do you know of one who could?
ReplyDeleteI also liked the less professional one. This method helps support different learning styles.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine how effective this would be for ESL students? Artists render drawings of various curriculum topics and software allows the teacher to insert words that support the drawings giving students the visual and the language piece without the teacher having to recreate the drawing on paper each time they teach the lesson.
ReplyDeleteIt seems as though it would have great application.
