Paper Abstract:
|
The improvements, accessibility and influence of bi-dimensional 2D and three-dimensional 3D information and
communication technologies and devices on citizens life, for instance, Web-based resources, game like and other
emerging technologies have stimulated their use on the education field. We have used such technologies in learning and
teaching actions, as a way of engaging and influencing individuals cognitive and technical skills enhancements within
the context of k-12 education, attempting to respect individuals learning style diversity (personalized learning) and
developing a digital and visual literacy culture at school and surrounding community. The learning/teaching actions have
brought about decreasing the digital divide through increasing individuals communication, stimulating collaborative
knowledge-based interactions and supporting ones digital literacy technical skills and competences. On this paper we
describe how we have achieved these qualitative results with support of the combination between the current cultural
media influence and learning concepts such as constructivism, constructionism, experiential and active learning. |
