Len Scrogan is the Director of Instructional Technology for the Boulder Valley School District. Working to implement research-based technologies into teaching and learning, Scrogan is currently involved in a project introducing the use of 3D in the classroom and bringing virtual learning to schools. At the moment, most teachers are setting up screen sharing software in schools in order to improve the education they are providing students. So, there is already a growing demand for this type of technology and 3D solutions seem to be the next step. This Scrogan was recently named the Outstanding Technology Administrator by the Colorado Association of School Executives.
“We have four schools currently engaged in a case study on the effectiveness of 3D technology in the K-12 classroom, in collaboration with researchers,” said Len Scrogan. “The four school environments are diverse in nature; three fourth grade classrooms in an elementary school, focusing on science and math instruction; three science classrooms in a large high school, one middle school science teacher serving low socio-economic limited English language students and one special education day treatment facility. The teachers are using the 3D instruction as introductory, teaching, review, and/or assessment experiences.”
After months of exploration, the appropriate 3D content has been selected and a study is ready to be launched this September.
