Connecting Learners to Place, Space, and Personal Experience With Technology and New Media
Mon, April 11, 7:45 to 9:15am, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 102 BSession Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
The presentations in this interactive poster session highlight innovative Cyberlearning projects that articulate how new technologies and media can be utilized to better connect learners to place, space, and personal experiences as rich resources for learning. The projects as a whole illuminate: (a) the affordances for learning that are now possible with evolving technologies and media tools, (b) how Cyberlearning strategies can create deeper connections for learners to their environments and life experiences, and (c) common ground in understanding the potential for Cyberlearning to foster deeper learning processes and outcomes (e.g., identity, disposition, collaboration, etc.).
