Subclaims¶

q2 i? A health and physical education teacher reported that learning how he could use the Learning Studio motivated him to help students engage with their interests. → educator-castelli q2 i? A physics teacher described prior frustration when computers could not run 3D modeling software, and moved to interest once the Z Series workstations could handle sophisticated graphics. → educator-vargas

Interview with health and physical education teacher Mr. Castelli in the Awareness section: he said the way the studio "was presented to me on how I could use it, that was the motivating factor." He planned to infuse new technologies into his Blue Zones lesson.

"The way [the Learning Studio] was presented to me on how I could use it, that was the motivating factor. Because I can help some students engage in some things that they're interested in."

Physics teacher Mr. Vargas recounted that a prior 3D modeling attempt ended when "the computer crashed and they had to restart the whole thing." Knowing the Z Series workstations could handle sophisticated graphics, he moved from awareness to interest in using the studio.

"We tried 3D modeling once and [the students] found that super enjoyable because the 3D modeling program we use is kind of like Minecraft. Essentially, they kind of build together."
