After viewing the article and video, I learned that visual learning and interaction is important in the classroom. Students respond better to educational information when it is presented in an entertaining manner. I plan to use video clips in my future classroom because I do believe that students learn more when they're interested in the subject matter. The article gave the example of a classroom where students are learning about Mt. Helen's erupting. Rather than simply hearing about it exploding, students may visually see it erupting through video clips.
I really enjoyed the Edutopia video and the student's projects in the video. The teacher of that class explains how the students are able to express their creativity through their project. They also engage in problem-solving, since they have to figure out how to construct their craft, as well as make sure it works correctly. I do believe that visual interaction through different technologies is important and should be integrated into all classrooms.
I agree with your post that visual interaction through different technologies is important and should be integrated into all classrooms. Very important!
