Actually, just the last Issue. Browns=Epic Fail.
So I did Issue 7, than on to Issue 8. Issue 8 was fun because we had to take current issue and design a scenario for it. I choose to look at the gap between Physical Fitness and Technology. My undergrad in in Physical Education, and I have always been an active person. Now that I am doing more with computers, I find myself at a crossroads of not being active yet still learning. How do I combine the two? That was the issue that I looked at. I really liked the way my paper turned out because I found some outstanding resources that actually look at this problem. All of the health problems that can occur, and some remedies that technology provides. Good stuff.
So, this will probably be the last blog for this class. I must say, I have actually had a positive experience in this class because of the way it ran. I loved being able to research scenarios on my own. I learned so much more that way, and figuring out problems the best I could made me learn even more. Plus, the great thing about this class, is I felt less pressure to achieve a grade, and more opportunities to learn how to handle situations. Much more relaxed, much more beneficial. I look forward to other classes that are run in this way.

The Home Stretch
Browns....Blah! Wait till next year!
Heading down the home stretch with classes. I did Issue 7 and it was quite interesting. As I started reading through the different chapters trying to decide which one to do for my topic, none of them really caught my eye. I decided to write about Artificial Intelligence. The scenario in the book did not motivate me that much to find out more about AI, but as I started researching it and writing it became more and more interesting. They have concepts and ideas in the works that will just blow your mind. Really great ideas. I talked about some of them in my paper and on the discussion board as well.
It seems funny to think of a classroom with a "Star Wars" character such as R2D2 teaching the lesson, but in the near future, it could become a reality. Putting a man on the moon seemed like a ridiculous idea at one point in time. So anything is possible. AI in Education is still not at a self-sustaining point in technology that it can replace a human teacher, but it would work perfect in the classroom as a supplement to educational materials.
This week I will type Issue 8. I am going to take a look at Physical Fitness and Technology use. I have a few more things to finish up in my remaining classes and than a nice break! Until next week.
