They\u2019re all students in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/modeling-simulation\/\">virtual classroom simulator<\/a> known as TeachLivE, which was developed at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ to better prepare teachers to handle the rigors of leading a classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers-in-training and existing teachers can step into the simulator to practice targeted skills, such as classroom management and content pedagogy, in what\u2019s called \u201cvirtual rehearsal.\u201d An \u201cinteractor\u201d from Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ controls all five avatars, which each have distinctive personalities that mirror what teachers might see in the average classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Actress Cheryl Hines, a Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ alumna, kicked off the conference with a presentation about improvisation and how those skills can be applied to the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be very difficult as a teacher to communicate anything with a student without connecting with them. The only way you can improvise is if you\u2019re a good listener, so you have to listen to what someone else says, because there\u2019s no script,\u201d said Hines, a graduate of the Groundlings, the revered improv comedy troupe based in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Hines, the star of television shows including \u201cCurb Your Enthusiasm\u201d and \u201cSuburgatory,\u201d spoke about the importance of playing along, assuming a relationship and making bold choices to both actors and teachers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith teaching, if a student has an idea or a thought or a question, you can\u2019t shut them down and say \u2018That\u2019s a bad question,\u2019 \u2018You don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about\u2019 or \u2018Why weren\u2019t you listening,\u2019 any of those things. It has to keep moving in a positive direction,\u201d said Hines. \u201cIn improv, you have to stay in the moment. You can\u2019t plan what\u2019s going to happen next because you don\u2019t know. I think it\u2019s that way with teaching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the two-day conference, educators attended workshops and discussions about how TeachLivE can be used as a stimulating way to prepare all different kinds of teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Breakout sessions targeted math, science, preschool, counselor and other educators. New developments in TeachLivE, including a parent-teacher conference scenario and the creation of an avatar with Autism Spectrum Disorder, were also introduced.<\/p>\n<p>Just 10 minutes in the simulator forces teachers to think more about their practice, said Karla Auzenne, a science instructional specialist for the Houston Independent School District, which has used TeachLivE as a preparation tool for rookie and veteran teachers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven when I first met the TeachLivE students through Skype, I forgot I was talking to avatars,\u201d said Auzenne. \u201cThey become kids to you. They come off the screen into real life. It\u2019s a game-changer, right then and there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TeachLivE was created eight years ago by education professors Mike Hynes and Lisa Dieker, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/college\/engineering-computer-science\/\">College of Engineering &amp; Computer Science<\/a> professor Charles Hughes, and an interdisciplinary team that included members of the Synthetic Reality Lab at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½\u2019s Institute for Simulation &amp; Training.<\/p>\n<p>Today, TeachLivE is delivered to more than 10,000 teachers at 37 partner universities and at other sites including the school districts in Orange, Seminole, Lake and Volusia counties. A team of more than 25 at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ supports the technology, development and partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>The theme for this year\u2019s TeachLivE conference was ludic convergence, or playful collaboration, a celebration of what the TeachLivE team calls \u201csandbox technology.\u201d One group of children could come into a sandbox and create distinct castles or shapes. When they\u2019re done, another group of kids could come in, tear down what was there and build something completely different.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the nature of TeachLivE, which can be completely customized depending on the user\u2019s objectives. What stays the same, however, is the realistic nature of the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not great at technology, but what I saw today was fascinating,\u201d said Hines. \u201cThis is so great. You\u2019re actually talking to a real person\u2014different characters, but a real person.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nearly 100 educators from across the country gathered at the Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ this week to learn some big lessons from five middle schoolers who have a lot to say but who aren\u2019t actually human.
