  • COLOR BLIND GLASSES https://youtu.be/DRZ4T3Ex7xw - Making Color Possible: Learn about the science of our life-enhancing eyewear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS5vvuToj74 - Student Sees Color for First Time With EnChroma Glasses | NowThis

    • Imagine a world where you see only 10% of the colors of a normal human and believe that's how everyone else views the world. Then maybe later in life you are informed you are color blind. I think of all the classrooms around the country that are beautifully decorated in a variety of vivid colors and unfortunately, children and adults go through life thinking of the dullness. Wouldn't it be great to show students and adults what the world really looks like when you can see every color? Andy Schmeder who is the CEO, co-founder, and inventor of the EnChroma Glasses. These glasses have changed millions of lives by simply allowing those who are color blind to finally see color. Something so simple that you and I may take for granted. I imagined what my students' lives must be like who are color blind. As a reading teacher, I am always using different colors when analyzing a piece of fiction or nonfiction. Sadly, it has never once crossed my mind to ever ask if any of my students are color blind. After reading about the EnChroma Glasses and watching the inspiring videos, it will definitely be something I encourage my colleagues to find out. The second video shows just how much one young boy is changed by this remarkable piece of technology.

    Truly a helpful post. I have a cousin who is color blind and I will be sure to pass this information along to her. Technology never ceases to amaze me.

    This is another amazing option that is coming to fruition for technology! I never gave color blindness much thought until the hospital began testing all my students for color blindness due to the fact that they would be experiencing rotations in the pharmacy. You don't think about how vital being able to differentiate colors can be for a profession such as pharmacy. A couple students have tested positive for being color blind. It was news to them and it really blew their minds. Of course, it is something that they need to keep in mind as they continue to make their way through life! Who would have ever thought!

    Will definitely check out this article . We cover sensation and perception in psych and one of the units covers vision and in that unit we discuss the color vision theories and also color deficiencies. This is something I could use in my class

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...
