1. Tell us a bit about what you expect from a studio about technology and how it affects education. I am deeply interested/concerned about the idea of technology in our modern lives, and the notion that technology could possibly be used to teach the future generation is both terrifying and inspiring. I hope to learn from this class how this technology is to be used in the classroom and what that means for future classrooms. What are the benefits? What are the consequences? I wish to take a somewhat anthropological approach to this innovation.
2. Do you know a 3D program (of any kind) No
3. Do you know Unity 3D? No
4. Are you familiar with Adobe Creative Suite? Somewhat, but not fluent.
5. Do you have a familiarity with Computer Science? No
6. Do you know any physical computing? No
7. Are you skilled at any other design or media platform? I have no design or story-related prior experience, but am willing to dive in and try (especially on the story-related side).
8. Let us know anything about your experience as a teacher. I am currently teaching this semester at a school, but have no prior experience. I like working with children and wish to become a better teacher/communicator.
9. Are you a good writer? I am more comfortable with writing than designing, and love to research and make theories or conclusions.
