STUDENT STATISTICS

STUDENT COMMENTS

Does the 3D projection help you learn?Yes Number Of Responses37 Percentage Of Responses(76%)      No   Number Of Responses12 Percentage Of Responses(24%)   Explain:“The 3D projector really helped since it was kind of hands on, and different which made everyone pay attention”

MORE COMMENTS:

• “because I am a visual learner it helped a lot to see it in a bigger perspective”

• “It provided a better visualization than the textbook.”

• “It helped to see a 3D view of things; it was easier for me to picture it and understand the structure.”

• “Yes, it provides images based on reality, and keeps me paying attention because its new and interesting.”

• “It is a very engaging tool.”

LESSONS LEARNED AND BEST PRACTICESSafety- Have students and

parents sign a safety contract

Educate about 3D safety and Use Issues

If headaches or nausea, have students take off glasses (can watch in 2D)

Persistent issues may require an eye doctor's visit

Success with 2 students in catching eye sight issues which led to prescription glasses

 

Achievement-• Students drew pictures in

notes in 3D aspect rather than 2D• Students displayed higher

level thinking as they noted "mistakes" in 3D

• Students with ADHD, ADD, Asperger's were able to focus for longer periods of time

• Students overall were more motivated and focused

LESSONS LEARNED AND BEST PRACTICES• So far no significant increase with multiple

choice questions, but essay writing (descriptions) were improved by 10-11%

 • Need to work on finding a way to see how 3D

affects increase in scores • Need to assess in 3D as that is the modality they

are learning in • Future- Continue to create lessons with software

companies and think about how to assess more effectively in 3D
