For this blog I am going to discuss the mash-up my Team will be exploring and define what that looks like.
First of all, my group is made up of five members, from the USA. One from Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. We don't have any foreigners in our group so it might be a little easier when it comes to collaboration (due to the time differences).
Our group is working on Gesture-Based Learning, and the freedom aspect of it. I really can't tell you what that is going to look like but I think it's basically the freedom of gesture-based learning. Have you ever seen those crazy sci-fi films when the technology is so far advanced that the computers look like they're just floating pieces of glass in a large room and it's all touch screen and super fast? Well, this is part of the gesture-based learning. The Wii, touch screen things, and even the newer video games that use your body as a controller are all new technologies that help us learn through gesture-based learning. I think that things like this are pretty cool. Instead of drawing on paint with a mouse, we can draw on a huge canvas and maybe get better effects. Instead of using a controller to karate chop someone, we can actually do the motion and get the work out we need!
This will be a very interesting topic to research, I'm happy I'm in this group.
