Gaming for Education

PLAY Estiweight


Diggy Games


This educational game would be utilized as well as other mind or puzzle type games to assist in getting the students mind working (grease the wheels). The games would work in the same way as a warm up prior to starting a work out... don't want to strain your brain. So, it wouldn't support any particular topic I teach, just allow the students brains to be open when I do start to lecture.

Photography

Photographers


How to...


Equipment Information


The first set of videos under "Photographers" would be a resource for students to see what type of images that well known photographers have done in the past. I t would be an area to show the history of photography and how it has evolved over the years. The second set, "How to..." would be an area that students could utilize to figure how to use some aspect of their camera or create an effect in their images. The "equipment" series, would be for those students looking to purchase new or used camera accessories... hwat to look for and how to find the best item for the lowest amount of cash.

Presentation Elements

The First presentation was first very standard, therefore on the boring side. Also, It caught me as weird that a photography presentation was lacking images... it was largely based on text. More images to associate with might have kept me more interested and awake... Maybe.
These last two presentation I felt were exceptional because they were visually stimulating... great for a photography presentation. They both focused on the images and added some humor to keep the viewer/learner interested.
