Inspiring, informative, useful, or just plain fun tweets posted on Twitter over this past week … collected here to share with our blog readers.
This week in the wrap … first, check out the amazing 3D “holoportation” technology from Microsoft (from an educational perspective, one can quickly envision the potential to bring teachers and students together from all across the world, into the same virtual 3D space), explore dozens of tools and techniques for teaching the many different digital literacies our students need in today's world, read about the power of eportfolios as an assessment tool, consider the possibilities for using custom made comics and cartoons to teach and for students to demonstrate learning, read multiple pieces on ditching the grade, and much more! Go explore!
This is amazing! Holoportation: virtual 3D teleportation in real-time
