3D technology in the classroom.

Lately many movies have been coming out in 3D.   Along with new technology to allow yourself to view 3D movies in the comfort of your home.  But what if classrooms gained these 3D devices?  The start of research on this topic has begun and the results have been very good. 

3D activities can put the student right in the middle of the action, making attention to the activity to go up, and with this it may help students make connections to the material faster then watching a video in 2D.



The video above shows the start of the research being done with using 3D in the classrooms.  With some personal reactions from students and teachers about what they thought of the technology. 

The link below is an article that tells all about the research that is being done for the 3D technology.  I will be looking forward to seeing what come out of this research in the next few years.  The thought of having this technology in my classroom is very neat and it may save money in the long run.  Instead of having students dissect frogs every year, you can show a video in 3D of the same thing.  I feel it would be a fun and interactive way for students to learn and have me saying "I wish they had this when i was in school."
