I watched a film entitled: Future of Technology: How does that work? This film was 24 minutes of wonderful information on the use of technology. It covered aspects related to new safety features and drunk driving, silicone chips to increase battery usage in all our electronic devices, Second-Life, how technology can aid in the simulation of surfing on a city canal without waves being present. Gave many new innovative strategies related to the use of current and pending technology.
Did I mention this is a free service that is offered through the USG system. Check your current college or university for more details. My films on Demand was located under our library directory. They provide excellent films on many of the health related topics we currently are teaching. Topics include education, technology, nursing, health and medicine, psychology and sociology and many more.These may be used as supplements to assist in the student's understanding of a given topic. I have watched several of the available films and found them very informative. . If you have time it is worth checking out as a new innovative addition to your teaching arsenal. Here is my college's web link: http://digital.films.com/Dashboard.aspx
Susan - what a great resource to add to courses!! I am going to have to go check this out. The one that you watched specifically seems to be very appropriate. I wonder how common subscriptions to this service is outside of the USG. (I also wonder how much a subscription is!) Great tool added. I hope others check it out too.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about cost, but the USG schools I am familiar with all have this attached to their library fro staff and students at no cost.
