FINAL PROJECT STEP 1: IMMERSIVE LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS

This is an overview of an article we had to read in Immersive Education.  I used the class notes (http://jied.org) to get to this article.  I thought this article was fascinating and the fact that technology must be kept up to date to ensure students are getting the knowledge and education they need to become successful. 

This is a great diagram of the Immersive Education Study rooms.  As you can see, each student logs on and is then able to retrieve the resources for Immersive education.  Everything is done in these Immersive education study rooms.Both educators ad learners are able to access these tools through shared applications.

Here an another use case by Immersive Education. This use case engages students, educators, museum professionals, scientist and authentic Watershed simulations of flora and fauna.  This drives successful strategies in Latino youth workforce development.  This allows the Latino youth group to demonstrate the necessary skills to problem solve,  conflict resolution and to effectively communicate in a work place.  This also reinforces the Latino group to work on their life goals and education.

One of the main objectives were to allow students to access libriaries and museums virtually.  This is a great idea because it lets students leverge tools and the resources at there own home, rather than going to the library or the museum to obtain this knowledge.  This creates a comfortable learning environment for the user which is what Immersive education wanted.

Overall, people who enjoy working from home rather in a classroom setting can really benefit from this virtual Museum/Library.  A library can be a pain when trying to locate certain information.  But with this virtual museum/library, users are able to conduct their own work where ever they may choose. This virtually museum/Library would be something I would like to see more of.  This will be a great resource for schools to benefit from.
