3-D: Not Just for the Movies Anymore
At the end of 2009, eSchool News published a special report: Learning in 3-D. For decades, it has been used in movies and at theme parks. For years colleges and universities have used 3-D for some of their most advanced research projects. According to this special report, we are on the cusp of seeing 3-D become mainstream.
There are several districts, schools, and teachers already using 3-DÂ in the classroom. We want to hear from you. Please share in the comments a couple of sentences about how you think we can or will use 3-D in the classroom.
Thanks in advance for sharing with the rest of our community
