In this free webinar, to be held on Wednesday February 29, 2012 at 19:00 – 20:30 - Israel time, you will get a glimpse into the developing world of using mobile devices for educational use. It aspires to create a learning experience that will go beyond a computerized lecture and discussion. If you are successful, you will go out (or send somebody) to examine your newly created experimental learning object using your mobile platform.
Workshop outline:
- Creating a location-based learning object using the wandering platform – 15 min.
- Overview of the main terms of location-based learning – 20 min.
- the potential and characteristics of mobile platforms
- web-based application. - Practicing the newly acquired knowledge by creating an additional learning object – 15 min.
- Example of educational implementation – 9th grade – 15 min. (using chrome to translate)
- How to do it yourself
