3D in Education.

3D in Education Article #1
3D in Education Article #2

The articles posted above it has some very intriguing information. The article is giving 3D education a positive vibe. It is stating that teaching could be more efficient if 3D is implemented. There is examples such as the Shelton School where the students did not want to leave class even after the bell. It is stated in the article that students are able to more interactively learn, and see things with more detail. Since 3D education is more interactive as the objects appear realistic, students are able to visualize the subject matter in a more apprehensive way. It seems that 3D education through the engagement the students seem to show will higher test results according to Clemson University. One of the main factors that is intriguing by this method of education, is its ability to keep a student's attention span. Honestly, regular education because of all the new technology that is out there is very boring. Students will turn to their mini computers (a.k.a cell phones). The studies on the articles show that this high-tech way of teaching student is adaptive to the technological advances of society. The same way we are adapting to even small children obtaining cell phones, we are making way for this fascinating method of teaching; 3D education.

Questions:
What is one possible way 3D education can benefit a classroom?
Why would a teacher feel satisfaction when using 3D visuals as a tool?
What could be one con regarding implementation of 3D in education?
How are test scores affected by this?
What is one possible issue withholding the implementation of 3D?

Answers:
1. 3D education can benefit a classroom due to its interactive visuals. It can have the whole class involved, and intrigued by what they are learning.
2. A teacher would feel satisfied, and motivated to teach their students because the students would give them the attention they need/deserve.
3. 3D implementation although it seems could be quite beneficial is quite expensive.
4. Test scores would obviously improve due to the change of attitude, interest, and engagement by the students.
5. The fact that 3D is expensive, Americans would very slowly implement this into their schools because of the education budget cuts.
