gamification pt 2

This week in class we continued with our Tech Teacher game. We had to do several different tasks on twitter which was very easy. We also had to choose one of the content curation sites we learned about and create a page with at least 10 items referring to the topic we chose. I decided to use Pinterest because I like it the best and I am the most familiar with it. Then we had to get in our groups and read the Horizon Report and create a Google Site for the section we were assigned. My group was assigned 3D printing which is interesting, however, we were getting a bit frustrated because it is not too big of a thing yet and it was hard to find outside information about it. Lastly, we had to read articles and watch videos about Creative Commons and we are going to use them next week in class to create a video. I am looking forward to learning how to make the video. I think videos are a great way to keep students interested, as long as they are short, sweet and to the point.
