Blog 10: What Type of Learner am I?

        Define and explain which learning style said that you prefer.
______________________________________ This means ___________________________...
I am kinaesthetic learner. A kinaethetic learner is those who prefer to learn by touch rather then by simply watching. They prefer to jump right in. Kinesthetic learners can be restless or hyperactive when under-stimulated physically.

On Thursday we discussed AUGMENTED REALITY. How is AUGMENTED REALITY being used in the classroom. CLICK HERE FOR EDUDEMIC AUGMENTED REALITY *Editor's Note: This is one of my ALL-TIME favorite websites.

After you've read through the article, list the five AR websites that interest you the most, describing them briefly (You may cut and paste the information from Edudemic):
1.Augmented Reality Development Lab
Affiliated with such itty-bitty, insignificant companies as Google, Microsoft, and Logitech, the Augmented Reality Development Lab run by Digital Tech Frontier seeks to draw up projects that entertain as well as educate. The very core goal of the ARDL — which classrooms can purchase in kits at various price levels — involves creating interactive, three-dimensional objects for studying purposes. 
2.
MITAR Games
Developed by MIT’s Teacher Education Program and The Education Arcade, MITAR Games blend real-life locations with virtual individuals and scenarios for an educational experience that research proves entirely valid. Environmental Detectives, its first offering, sends users off on a mystery to discover the source of a devastating toxic spill.
3.FETCH! Lunch Rush
Education-conscious parents who want L’il Muffin and Junior to learn outside the classroom might want to consider downloading PBS Kids’ intriguing iPhone and iPod Touch app. Keep them entertained in the car or on the couch with a fun little game for ages six through eight meant to help them build basic math skills visually.
4.School in the Park Augmented Reality Experience
Third graders participating in the 12-year-old School in the Park program engage with AR via smartphones as they explore Balboa Park, the San Diego History Center, and the world-class San Diego Zoo. Not only do they receive exposure to numerous educational digital media resources, teachers also train them in creating their very own augmented reality experiences!
5. QR Code scavenger hunts
Smartphones equipped with a QR code reader make for optimal tools when sending students on scavenger hunts across the classroom or school. The Daring Librarian, Gwyneth Anne Bronwynn, sends kids on an augmented reality, animated voyage through the library to figure out where to find everything and whom to ask for assistance.

Choose three of the above websites from above and paste their featured links here:
1.FETCH! Lunch Rush http://www.pbs.org/about/news/archive/2011/fetch-lunch-rush-app/
2.School in the Park Augmented Reality Experiencehttp://www.schoolinthepark.org/
3.QR Code Scavenger Hunts http://www.thedaringlibrarian.com/2012/05/qr-code-quest-scavenger-hunt-part-deux.html

Of the three websites that you choose to feature, which of them do you find the most beneficial to learning in the classroom with AR? Explain why you choose the site you did! (This is a two step question, answer both parts!)
Of these three sights i like FETCH! Lunch Rush because we can learn while having fun too!

Take a screenshot of the AR site that you liked the most and paste it here (ask a classmate if you do not remember how to do this - NETWORK!). Save the picture to your H-drive first, the use the BLOG tool PICTURE to post it.


The last think you'll need to do today is check out this link: HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD A WOOD CHUCK CHUCK IF..
