Jesse Schell's VR Predictions

Oh wow!  Listen to these predictions - and remember, industry experts predict by manifesting.

All is Well that Ends Well!

What a brilliant end to a brilliant class - and a equally great send off by the good Doctor Monson.  Thank you, my Friend.

It was good to see that most other Project Teams described their intra-team workings and communications.  For example, that Katie, Jared, and Grant kept each other honest to deadlines using Slack was a good reminder.  I'd used the Slack app on my Xperia tablet in the past to build a start up with my brother and will make certain to set that down for team projects in the coming semesters.

I found it striking that our team had no group introspective analysis to speak about on the final presentation.  Nor did we speak about what we learned from working within our group - 3J1R.  Perhaps we . . . no, I was a little too obsessed with what VR could do to notice the intra-workings of our team.  We used the GroupMe app to coordinate our efforts.  Valuable asset.

One thing I missed from my previous masters degree team projects was meeting with the groups outside of class.  This was hampered a bit by proximity and that I was located in Ogden, Utah, while the rest of my teammates were located in Salt Lake City, Utah.  John and I met at his place of creation - YouthCity at Liberty Park - a few times.  These were valuable interactions for us and the testing of our VR ideas on his students.  We did have several weekend Skypes.

One thing that I'd like for my future teams to use in collaborative meetings and online interactions is Altspace.  Altspace is a virtual space in which users can chat and interact with each other's virtual avatars.

Nice avatar!

Yessss, innovator platform for collaboration . . . this is.

Inno-Vaders you must face . . .

Innovator leads to early adopter.  Early adopter lead to majorities and on to mainstreaming.  Yessssss!  Thank you Dr. Everett Rogers!  In his brilliantly insightful look at how humans receive new technology, historically, the Diffusion of Innovations bell curves the population and gives them apropos labels.  Pfff!  Lagards! 

Diffusion of Technology Curve and Product Life Cycle

And in order for us to see the tools of collaboration continue to evolve, we must push them.  There is no predicting the future - only making it manifest.  Remember your Frick!  This is my goal with EdTech.  I'm gonna say, "VR, VR, VR, VR, VR, VR, VR, VR, VR, VR . . ." ad nauseum until you all go buy one or stick a bicycle spoke in my eye. 

The Missing Up Link

Last but not least in this humble entry, I love the camaraderie and rapport that has developed with our entire cohort.  It's got a real family, or at least, youth conference-type bonding feel.  I'm happy to see that we've got such a diverse group - public and private school teachers, industry designers, exchange students (Yay, Xi Pei!), and even a professional student and philosopher, in the mix ;).

I really look forward to the coming semester of Human Computer Interaction and Multimedia Learning!

Thanks again, Dr. Monson for creating a fun-loving, clever, Star Wars enthusiastic & diverse forum!

See ya next year, Y'all
