Harvard Videos on the Inside Scoop #2



This clip seemed more like an intro to the Immersive Education experiences.
It emphasized the importance of the technology, and how it is becoming more and more widely used by young students. It says that our generation is different from the previous ones; we were given much more tools to interact with others and globalize.
One interesting part was on the importance of video games. Video games have all sorts of tools required to learn the material; the classic way of memorizing facts and reading textbooks are inefficient. They can learn a variety of subjects though the 3d world. For instacne, history can be taught by an old building which is rebuilt in 3d, so students could actually walk around and visualize while learning about historic events.
