Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Transform teaching and learning with AR and VR in your classroom. We're at the dawn of an incredible transformation in education. Augmented reality and virtual reality--technologies that were once the province of science fiction and fantasy--are faster, better, and more affordable than ever. These tools have the potential to not only inspire students but to redefine how we teach and collaborate. But widespread adoption of AR and VR in K-12 classrooms requires taking risks, investing money and time, and training educators. Reality Bytes makes the case for taking this leap by showing how educators are using these amazing technologies, and it provides a powerful framework to help anyone, in any school, join them. The innovative educators profiled are already designing learning experiences using AR and VR that supercharge student motivation, encourage creativity, and make otherwise impossible educational adventures accessible to all. You can do the same, using easy-to-implement resources that will revolutionize how you approach instruction. Equip your students with the skills they'll need in the future--today. Reality Bytes opens the doors to tools for meeting every student no matter where they are. This book outlines the power that AR and VR have in building empathy and growing critical worldviews and perspectives. Christine, Jesse, and Micah cast an exciting vision for the future of education! --Ken Shelton, educational strategist, equity and inclusion consultant Creating engaging lessons that successfully integrate technology can be challenging. Reality Bytes is here to help with tons of images, classroom stories, and ideas that will help you create student-centered lessons that allow your students to experience content in a whole new way. No matter the grade level, there is something for everyone in this wonderfully immersive book. --Alice Keeler, teacher, edtech expert, Google Certified Innovator While you won't see Winona Ryder's name on the cover of this book, you will find some star power in it--the power to create star learners in our classrooms using cutting-edge tools! Reality Bytes will you give you the tools, the pedagogy, and a practical framework to bring the new reality of learning into your classroom. --Kasey Bell, author of Shake Up Learning: Practical Ideas to Move Learning from Static to Dynamic

Making Virtual Reality a Reality
Author: Alison Valk
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440878986
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Walks readers through the key components of developing library-led research and programming that leverages emerging technologies with the goal of engaging students and faculty. As educational curricula and research evolve to include advanced technologies, libraries must offer programming with these emerging technologies in mind, including the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). In this timely guide, Valk, Mi, and Schick present readers with tools for assessing their level of organizational readiness to begin such programs and, more importantly, how to sustain them with limited budgets, expertise, and resources. Building on their own experiences, the authors teach readers how to develop technology-rich classes, assess student projects, and overcome technical hurdles. They spotlight this kind of programming as integral to building strategic partnerships in an educational environment. Readers will learn how to adapt and design programs or initiatives in which the necessary technologies are rapidly changing, not only in higher education institutions, but also in schools. Worksheets and resources assist readers in reflecting on their own work and developing educational programming to suit their organizational needs.

Bytes and Backbeats
Author: Steve Savage
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 0472901184
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
From Attali's "cold social silence" to Baudrillard's hallucinatory reality, reproduced music has long been the target of critical attack. In Bytes and Backbeats, however, Steve Savage deploys an innovative combination of designed recording projects, ethnographic studies of contemporary music practice, and critical analysis to challenge many of these traditional attitudes about the creation and reception of music. Savage adopts the notion of "repurposing" as central to understanding how every aspect of musical activity, from creation to reception, has been transformed, arguing that the tension within production between a naturalizing "art" and a self-conscious "artifice" reflects and feeds into our evolving notions of creativity, authenticity, and community. At the core of the book are three original audio projects, drawing from rock & roll, jazz, and traditional African music, through which Savage is able to target areas of contemporary practice that are particularly significant in the cultural evolution of the musical experience. Each audio project includes a studio study providing context for the social and cultural analysis that follows. This work stems from Savage's experience as a professional recording engineer and record producer.
