Evaluation for New technology

We finally did a well presenation on the presentation day. It wasn't what we really expected but it turned out well. WE wanted to make the animoto and the voicethread into 1 video but it didn't work. We were also going to choose a Nintendo Wii for our project but since a Nintendo DS has more 'studying for school' features we chose the Nintendo DS.


By seeing other people's ideas we could've also brought in a real Nintendo DS which we could use for our presentation to show how a Nintendo Ds could be used in school for those who prefer to see its features visually. Our plan wasn't really a proper plan. We just had a rough idea of what we are going to do. Without the plan we thought we were finished. But soon we found these sites which showed us how our new technology can be used in school and soon we pulled through. I think this project should be used next year as well. To improve it they can really bring Dr. Hedger into the classroom (because this project is to convice Dr. Hedger to allow the new technology in school) so he can see for himself what the technology can be used in school.

My voicethread

Our Animoto and Voice Thread about the NINTENDO DS

My partner and I have split the work. He did the animoto while I did the voicethread. He got the Ds pictures and pictures showing how The DS can help in school. While i got some evidence proofing how the Ds can help in school.

INVESTIGATE

Nintendo DS & Nintendo wii can be quite amusing and fun in playing video games but we can also use these as useful tools in education. Nintendo DS can wirelessly connect to nintendo wii so they both make a good combination. A Nintendo DS can be useful because you can take notes in side it so you can copy something educational inside it like a homework diary and like a math working book. So you see you can even use fun in technology. I chose The Ds for another reason because it only costs 400QR. The brands available now are the Nintendo DS and The Nintendo Ds lite which is a smaller version of a DS.http://http//www.play-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/nintendo-ds-lite-black-europe.jpg

What the Nintendo Ds can be used for in School?

The Nintendo DS can be mostly used for math & science. For math it can be used for workings on its touch screen. Instead of using your paper notebook use the Ds notebook in which you can finish your work faster. In science when you are watching a educational video you can take notes in the ds notebook. I'm sure it would be OK if each student had 1 because it only costs 400 QR.

New Technology

The technology category I like is the game sides. The games I like are with new technology. They are: PS2(playstation 2), nintendo DS, The newest technology:nintendo wii, gameboy advanced SP. My most favorite is the new Nintendo wii. I like nintendo wii is my favorite because you can play it by waving your own two arms and kicking with your own legs which is reqally cool. Plus you can play my favorite game on it Pokemon BattleRevolution. I think these technology is super cool. I can't wait for more cool technology games to come out!

How can blogging help in education?

Blogging can be helpful in our everyday life. How? Well thats easy. Like I said in the paragraph"what is a blog?' and the paragraph about focusing it on one theme. When you are studying for an exam or anything. If you go on a site so you can get help on your exam. you can save them on blogger.
