Edtech 2 Day 4

When learning is through playing games.

We had the opportunity to produce our PowerPoint and MS Excel games last term on Education Technology 1 class. Then last meeting on our EdTech2 class, we were  once again tasked to present another games using different techniques of encoding and editing methods with the use of PowerPoint program. Seeing our classmates produce this kind of educational game awes me, I thought meeting and report presentations are the only capability the program. Utilizing these software opens up bigger possibilities on how we could use other none gaming software for giving a new twist on how to engage the audience and students. Like the possibility of using Adobe Photoshop layers to make a "name the person" game by simply blurring the image bit by bit then undo the process to reveal the person. Like using a model in Auto CAD to make them guess the other faces of the 3D shape.

The possibilities of utilizing these softwares to more that it is originally intended, opens up options and brings about new ways to teach or even capture their attention, specially their interest. giving this type of activity will make our audience excited to our next sessions or class. making then anticipate your next topic and make them realize that in a way, you lighten up the atmosphere and lift their interest to learn and listen. I'm enjoying each EdTech2 class, I can also it on my classmates, seeing of Professor have a few laughs just shows that teaching is fun, specially if Elias is in the class:)
