The halfway point of the Digital Education of the Future training marked a day of focused productivity. On Day 5, participants took the skills and techniques they’d honed over the past four days and applied them to finalize their interactive lessons. The goal was to bridge creativity with practicality, ensuring the lessons were ready for classroom use.
Morning Session: Practical Applications of Digital Tools
The day began with a session highlighting the practical applications of 360° media and 3D models across different educational contexts. Trainers shared real-world examples to inspire participants, including:
Virtual Field Trips: Using 360° panoramas to transport students to historic sites, natural wonders, or scientific laboratories.
Interactive Science Models: Employing 3D visualizations to explain complex processes like the human circulatory system or geological formations.
Creative Assessments: Incorporating interactive elements to gauge understanding in a more engaging way than traditional tests.
Participants brainstormed ways to adapt these ideas to their own subjects, sparking a wealth of creative lesson concepts.
Afternoon Session: Finalizing Interactive Lessons
The afternoon was dedicated to finalizing lessons. With all the tools at their disposal, participants:
Combined 360° Media and 3D Models into comprehensive lessons, ensuring a seamless flow of content.
Embedded interactive elements, like hotspots and quizzes, to keep learners engaged.
Tested their lessons on various devices to ensure compatibility and smooth functionality.
Trainers provided personalized feedback, helping participants troubleshoot any remaining issues and polish their work.
Collaboration and Peer Review
A portion of the session was set aside for peer review. Participants shared their nearly complete lessons with each other, gaining fresh perspectives and constructive feedback. This collaborative atmosphere fostered a sense of camaraderie and mutual support, as everyone worked towards the common goal of creating impactful educational resources.
Evening Reflection: Accomplishments So Far
As the day came to a close, participants reflected on their progress. Many expressed pride in seeing their ideas evolve into fully realized lessons, ready to inspire and engage learners. The trainers applauded their dedication and creativity, setting a positive tone for the second half of the training.
Moving Forward
Day 5 was a milestone in the training journey, showcasing how far participants have come in just a few days. With their lessons nearly complete, the focus will now shift to enhancing their delivery and exploring advanced features.
Next up: Day 6 – Advanced AI Integration in Lesson Development. Stay tuned for more updates!
