The Dynavision D2 system allows athletes to train their
perceptual vision. It allows athletes to improve their peripheral awareness and
process multiple tasks more efficiently and rapidly. I believe that the
Dynavison D2 can be used to help students who have ADHD. It would allow
students to reads books that are prompted on the screen while touching the lit buttons
to increase comprehension. It could be used as a fun game for students. As a
math teacher, you could have mathematic problems on the screen that students
must answer while trying to touch the buttons that are lit up.
I will use PowerPoint to support student learning at each
level of Bloom’s Taxonomy. The first
level of the Bloom’s Taxonomy is “Remember” PowerPoint can help students
remember but teachers can have slides with definitions of words that are
important to the topic. The second level is “understand” PowerPoints can provide
notes to help the student comprehend the topic. The third level is “apply” it
could help students to use information in new situations. Teachers can create demonstrate different
scenarios to help students comprehend the topic.
The fourth level is “analyze” to draw connection among
ideas. Teachers can create comparison charts for students to understand what to
topics have in common. The fifth level is to “evaluate” to justify a stand or
decision. Teachers can make PowerPoints into a fun game where students can have
a debate on a topic to increase comprehension and public speaking.
The sixth level is to “create” to produce new or original l
work. As teacher you can make your PowerPoint presentation as creative as you
like. You could use music, pictures, graphs, different fonts and many more to
appeal to your liking.
Deloitte University Press is a website that publishes
articles, reports and periodicals to provide insight for business. This website
has a technology trends report that shows how CIO’ can shape tomorrow for every
corner of their organization. It has different articles, podcasts and an
interactive tablet to inform us of the different technology. Even though the
website is geared towards business you can still apply it teaching.
Was the Dynavision D2 the machine that had the little red dots lit up? Haha. That one was fun to watch AND I also do remember the host of the psych lab telling us kids with ADHD would benefit the most from that. It was one of favorite pieces of technology from the lab.
ReplyDeleteThe Dynavision D2 machine was my favorite machine in the lab as well! I think that it is a great resource for students who deal with hyperactivity. I enjoyed watching my classmates (try to) do it as well!
ReplyDeleteI think Dynavision D2 could help ADHD kids too because since they always want to be moving around instead of just sitting in one place for a long time, I believe that doing work while trying to press the lights would help them use their energy in the right way.
