Getting back to 2.0 and approaching 3.0
Posted on June 1, 2015 at 8:15am 0 Comments 0 Likes
It has been a while since I last visited Classroom 2.0. With all of the new technologies available, I thought it might be a good thing to consider changing the name of this website to "Classroom 3.0".
In a nutshell, I'll update you on my life.
I decided to retire "early" from my position as a school psychologist last year. I moved my retirement date from October 1st to January 1st to step in for another psychologist on leave. After I retired, I visited friends and family, spent time with my grandson, traveled to St. Maarten, relaxed on a beach near Sarasota, Florida, and took a trip to Portugal and Sao Miguel, an island in the Portuguese Azores.
My friends and family didn't think I'd last very long as a full-time retiree, and they were right! I plan to work part-time in the field of innovative technologies, focusing on those that support ease of use, learning, and collaboration. Over the years, I've witnessed the evolution of technology in all aspects of life - through my own eyes, the eyes of my parents, through the eyes of my children, nieces and nephews, and now, through the eyes of my grandson, born less than five years ago.
This is an exciting time for educators, despite the challenges of diminished education budgets, standardized testing, and adoption of the Common Core.
I look forward to the journey.

NodeBeat is a collaboration between Seth Sandler and Justin Windle. It was developed using openFrameworks, with PureData for audio synthesis. According to the NodeBeat website, "Octaves and Notes make up the two types of nodes. Octaves pulse and send messages to Notes within proximity. Each Octave is assigned a random octave…
Call for Papers: Child Computer Interaction: 2nd Annual Workshop on UI Technologies and the Impact on Educational Pedagogy -in conjunction with CHI 2011

CALL FOR PAPERS
Child Computer Interaction
Workshop on UI Technologies and Educational Pedagogy
in conjunction with CHI 2011, Vancouver, Canada
May 7th or May 8th 2011
Topic: Given the emergence of Child Computer Interaction and the ubiquitous application of interactive technology as an educational tool, there is a need to explore how next generation HCI will impact education in the future. Educators are depending on the interaction communities and to deliver technologies that will improve and adapt learning to an ever- changing world. In addition to novel UI concepts, the HCI community needs to examine how these concepts can be matched to contemporary paradigms in educational pedagogy. The classroom is a challenging environment for evaluation, thus new techniques need to be established to prove the value of new HCI interactions in the educational space. This workshop provides a forum to discuss key HCI issues facing next generation education.
We invite authors to present position papers about potential design challenges and perspectives on how the community should handle the next generation of HCI in education. Topics of interest include:
• Gestural input, multitouch, large displays, multi-display interaction, response systems
• Mobile Devices/mobile & pervasive learning
• Tangible, VR, AR & MR, Multimodal interfaces, universal design, accessibility
• Console gaming, 3D input devices, 3D displays
• Co-located interaction, presentations, tele-presence, interactive video
• Child Computer Interaction, Educational Pedagogy, learner-centric, adaptive “smart” applications
• Empirical methods, case studies, linking of HCI… Continue

The video explains it all.
The following video is the longer original presentation by Sir Ken Robinson, responding to the question about how change can happen in education, and what we might do to make it last:…

- About Me
- The Interactive Multimedia Technology blog focuses on topics such as games in education, serious games, interactive multimedia applications for prevention and intervention, such as health promotion, stress management, and mental health, and exploring new ways that interactive multimedia can support efficiency in learning, cognition, and communication. This includes multi-touch technology on displays of all sizes.
The posts on the TechPsych blog are geared for psychologists, special educators, media specialists, educational technologists, teachers, speech and language therapists, and others who work in education or related fields. I look at ways that technology can be used to support important efforts in the schools, such as Universal Design for Learning, Response to Intervention, Positive Behavior Supports, and health promotion. I also touch on assistive technology, the use of technology in psychology, counseling, and related fields.
The posts on The World Is My Interface blog reflect what I've been discovering during my mid-life return to higher-education studies. The topics in this blog include technologies that support human-world interaction on and off the desktop: ubiquitous and pervasive computing, human-computer-interaction, collaborative technologies, info-viz, usability, and interaction design. I sometimes post examples of things I've nominated for the "usability hall of shame".
Some of my videos:
First version of "Poetry Picture Share" for use on an interactive touch screen display or whiteboard: (A NextWindow Human Touch display was used in this demonstration.)
First version of "navSmart" Photo-Globe Explorer with video-links, for use on an interactive touch-screen display or whiteboard. (A NextWindow Human Touch display was used in this demonstration.) Cute Kitty Video - just for fun!

Great for social and emotional learning/character education and lessons focusing on identity, self-esteem, healthy risk-taking and goal setting.

It's nice to see another psychologist interested in technology. I enjoyed reading your blogs. Check out www.cpschallenge.com if you have time. I am looking for someone with a good background in technology and school psychology to do a review. Take care.
That's one of the reasons I like it. :) If you have a question or need help please let me know. It's a powerful virtual classroom, I recommend you set up a session and just play around with it.
In your research of web technologies I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's web based power point presentation platform. Both web based platforms have proven to be very useful to me in my online class.
