            The article talks about HUD, Heads Up Display, which is a hands-free wearable technology in the form of goggles/glasses. In particular, the author spoke about Google Glass, which was created in the early 2010s but was short-lived due to privacy issues in 2015. The glasses had a camera that some were using inappropriately to film others without consent in public places. It now is being used to train medical professionals and interestingly with children with autism. They allow these kids to actually see "emotions".

            The article was from 2015, and included ways to use this in classrooms such as recording field trips, teach a hands-on skill, attendance taking for teachers. Some of the college applications of the product were used during orientation to the campus, lab demos, as well as learning surgery techniques for medical students. Other applications stated were of athletes and coaches using the product for training purposes, and demonstrations for instance, of a chef, to teach a cooking class.

    Oh wow! I read another article about the Google Glass and didn't realize that they could record without others consent, definitely crosses the line! I absolutely loved that you shared about the use for autistic children, as I interact with our autistic support students on a daily basis. I wish we could try these with them and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for sharing those details.

    Reading this makes me wish I was teaching a subject that had more opportunities for hands on learning. I would love to go on a field trip and do the recording option but we don't really do that at my school. I'm not saying field trips are frowned upon but we just don't push for opportunities to go on them. Maybe it is something I can look into for next year.

      Yes Dom
      We definitely have to look into this. It would be great to try and incorporate this technology to create virtual field trips and to do more hands on things

    I love the idea of the technology called HUD and the many ways it can be used in the classroom. it's not only a benefit for the student's experiences, but also can assist the teachers while students are in the class. It's a shame that it had to get pulled out of the class due to privacy issues, and don't we know about privacy issues. ;-) I wonder if any of the local hospitals are using it to train their medical staff. That could be a great tool to use to also share with the students. Hmmm....I would imagine IT has a bit more knowledge about that. Very interesting!

Jen Gleason-How Wearable Technology is Revolutionizing Classroom Learning

https://www.edsys.in/how-wearable-technology-revolutionizing-classroom-learning/?amp https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-web-2-0-p2-3486624 https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-web-3-0-3486623 When reading this article, I couldn't help to think about a class that I recently took and its connection to Wearable Technology. In this class I read about the evolution of the Internet.(Articles above) In the articles I read, the internet was first named Web 1.0  a "static information dump where people read websites but rarely interacted with them." (Nations) Today, Web 2.0 is in full swing, an "interactive socialweb facilitating collaboration between people." (Nations) Outside and inside the professional settings Web 2.0 connects "with other people who can put anything they want online." (Nations). This has lead to a "more social, collaborative, interactive and responsive web." (Nations) The next logical step is the transition to Web 3.0, which isn't fu...

Tom Bogusch - Wearable Tech: Taking Education by Storm

I love the idea of having virtual reality in the classroom. Having the ability to examine museum pieces, building structures, and artwork could prove to be a valuable resource. However, this is something I would definitely like to check out myself to make sure the benefits outweigh the costs of money, prep time, and class time. This article mentions the "Muse."  I didn't know I needed a brain sensing headband until I read this article - just kidding. I could definitely see how this could be a valuable tool for a particular student population but I would be extremely cautious in actually using the technology in the classroom.

Angela ~ Wearable Tech In the Classroom: Taking The Education Industry By Storm

https://elearningindustry.com/wearable-tech-in-the-classroom-taking-education-industry-storm      The first thing that comes to my mind with incorporating wearable tech into the classroom is expense. This is going to need to be addressed sooner than later since wearable tech is apparently "taking the education industry by storm". After reading this article I am excited to investigate a couple of suggestions that may not cost anything to incorporate into the classroom. Since this is a class about different medical professions available to students and an opportunity for students to assess if they truly want to get into medicine it is great to incorporate as much real-world experiences as possible. We do have clinical experiences for the majority of the year, but with what is happening with COVID-19 today, what would happen to the program if the hospitals decide to cut the student programs? This is a real fear that many of our instructors and administrat...
