No full textCreating Interactive Books with Augmented Reality
No full textThis workshop helped educators to create interactive Augmented Reality (AR) books at the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) conference. The goal of the workshop was to train participants to gain skills in integrating AR into their professional lives. All participants created an AR book or curriculum vitae during the workshop. This manuscript describes the specific activities, assigned times, and educational tools used during the workshop. This workshop was designed for participants with no previous knowledge or skills in developing AR materials. Educators interested in teaching educational technologies, especially AR, could be instructors for this lesson. Preservice teachers could also take this lesson.
Tinkering and Modeling: A Hands-on Learning Experience in A Supplementary Mathematics Classroom
No full textIn high school Geometry, three dimensional solids are often overlooked and not part of the regular curriculum. The exclusion of three-dimensional (3D) geometry can affect spatial relationships and cause learner anxiety, correlating to a negative relationship with environmental navigation (Lawton, 1994). To mitigate learner anxiety in the introduction and manipulation of spatial figures, Tinkercad was utilized for creative virtual design and papier mâché was used for a hands-on, artistic approach to mathematics
Fortune-Telling Finches: Linear Functions as Predictors
No full textThis lesson gives students experience with block coding Finch robots to move across plexiglass surfaces. It builds student computational thinking skills, mathematical self-efficacy, and interest in technology careers (McLurkin, et al., 2013; Martin, 2019; Kazi, 2023). Finch robots are small, physical robots that can be coded to move in a space. In this 8th grade math unit, conducted in the library, students identify relationships between variables while using block coding to make predictions and test hypotheses. This lesson extends students' knowledge of linear functions through observing patterns and using the guess and check strategy to complete a variety of challenges
