Innovations in Learning 2nd post
I found another innovation I find interesting and it can be found at http://usgshare.org, the University of Georgia Learning Object Repository. USG Share allows instructors at all Georgia universities to create video, animations, audio, or other types of lessons and save them in the repository for other instructors to use. It allows instructors to re-use previously made lessons and to add their own lessons as well for future use. This not only saves time for instructors in developing lesson plans but allows them to share their talents as well. An instructor that might not be able to create an animation to demonstrate a principle or concept can access the talents of another instructor that does. This will lead to a richer academic experience for students since they are not limited by the technological capabilities (or lack thereof) of their instructors.

Deni,
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific resource you've share with us.
I went to the Usgshare website and watched the video provided about how a science teacher posted her animation about turbidity to the shared repository. This kind of shared exchange of ideas, objects and other multimedia between educators (K-university) is one of the best education evolutions to come about. No longer is anyone restricted from access to great ideas,talents and skills of others. I've always believed that true and ethical education does not have room for Ego or "territoriality". The World Wide Web and especially the emergence of Web 2.0, gathers everyone up and allows the free flow of information to all.
