3D Technology in education has really been growing beyond industry expectations. But with so many educators adopting 3D for their classrooms there are still many out there who are saying no to 3D. Why the divide? With all of the case studies and large scale implementations around the country that prove without a doubt the dramatic impact 3D curriculum has on students’ understanding, retension and engagement, it might seem confusing as to why there isn’t more of a push in academia to embrace this revolutionary new technology. Let’s look a bit closer at a few of the reasons why.
When it comes to 3D naysayers there tend to be two types. There are the ones who ARE blown away with the 3D visual impact but assume that using 3D is something out of a sci-fi fantasy novel and therefore is completely cost prohibitive. Others are hesitant to even try 3D because they have concerns for students that are unable to see 3D or those who might have a pre-existing condition that could be aggravated by being taught with 3D technology. In the coming weeks we’ll endeavor to dispel some of these “3D Myths” and shed some light on the benefits of choosing 3D educational technology.
Here's some of the "Myths" we'll be discussing:
Assumption#1
“This is absolutely amazing. I can see my students loving this, but there is just no way I can afford it”
Assumption #2:
“Why buy a 3D system when I can just buy a 3D TV or a 3D laptop and glasses? I can put it together myself”
Assumption#3
“What do I do if I have students who can’t see 3D?"
Stay tuned...and feel free to share your thoughts on the use of 3D technology in education with us!
