MVU Lunchtime Keynote Warren Buckleitner

Exploiting Educational Technology

Warren Buckleitner invites audience to touch his floppy disk, he doesn't even care!

The lunchtime keynote. presented by Warren Buckleitner gave a overview of many of the technologies that are being used today. His vision of one laptop per child is to employ the use of the Nintendo DS. Its affordable and many students already own it. This also capitalizes on the current gaming trend that does much of what good instruction is all about: instant feedback, mastery learning, testing, scaffolding and opportunities for apprenticeships where one gamer tutors another.

Warren also shared the wiki that he created for the keynote and it can be found at: http://rutgerstech.wikispaces.com/MVU
