In our last post, we highlighted the
most popular Future-Talk 3D blog posts for 2011, based on web impressions
during the year. I was surprised to see that one particular post did not even
make the top fifteen posts most visited by our readers: Why 3D
Counts.
This omission surprised me, because
this post identifies the underpinnings of 3D in learning—why 3D in education is
so very important. This post connects to an insightful "meta-analysis" by
Dr. Nora Newcombe, a whitepaper that goes a long way to explain why 3D holds promise
for the classroom, for promoting interest in STEM careers, and for
pushing math and science achievement forward.
For that reason, I am starting 2012 with my “Editor’s Choice” reposting
of a singular document that all Future-Talk readers, whether 3D supporters or detractors
should read:
