  • GOOGLE GLASS https://www.teachthought.com/technology/30-ways-google-glass-education-might-work/ - 30 Ways Google Glass In Education Might Work

    • First and foremost, I know the title of the article isn't necessarily a promising one when you hear that there are many ways a product "might work". But I have to say, I liked that the author used those words because it doesn't mean these ideas will definitely work for everyone. Having a list of thirty suggestions was definitely overwhelming, but I was able to narrow it down to my top 5 ways I think Google Glass would work for me as a teacher: 

      1.  "Document lessons - Document lessons that require demonstration and hands-on experience."

      2. "Teacher Evaluations - Make teacher evaluations, removing the observer from the physical classroom."

      3. "Identify Learning Disabilities - Have a specialist or a behavioral agent observe children for signs of a learning disability as they work in their classroom with their teacher."

      4. "Feedback Systems - Augmented Reality Feedback System: a HUD that lets teachers know when their students are falling behind."

      5. "Record Lessons - Record lessons from the teacher's perspective and edit together with views from the student perspective as a tool for revision and reflection." 

Be sure to check the rest of the list to see what might work for you.

    My principal will give out a short form electronic evaluation if he is just popping in. I have gotten used to this and I kind of like the idea that I am getting instant feedback from him. If Google Glass does this than I imagine it is something our district will be using sooner or later.

    I definitely overlooked this article simply because of the "might work" comment in the title. Thank you, Jeannine for opening my eyes to the possibilities that this method of technology could be so helpful. I know as a student, I became so incredibly nervous when I was being observed and graded for skill sets while I was in nursing school. In fact, I still do. When it is time for our professional observations in the classroom, I tend to get myself worked up to the point that I my mind can go blank. The knowledge that this is the way we are evaluated is frustrating due to stage fright. I know for sure that students know when they're being evaluated and I am sure it affects them in the same manner. I like the idea of being able to record lessons, and then go back and revise and reflect. When I am being observed, I forget so much of what I said, how I said it, and would truly appreciate being able to factually reflect after an evaluation, whether it is for me or a student.

    Jeanine, I agree that MIGHT work discouraged me as well, but I like your five main points.

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...
