Jen Gleason-How Wearable Technology is Revolutionizing Classroom Learning





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 fully understood and defined yet. It is suggested in the readings that Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be a component of Web 3.0.  According to Nation's article "Is Web 3.0 really a Thing?" this may be a sign of Web 3.0 and how AI can "pick apart the important components of your speech and then follow your commands, like to make a reminder." I mention these points because Wearable Technology will fall into the Web 3.0 era. I see Wearable Technology as having the potential to really interact with the human being. For example, the brain sensing headband sounds pretty sophisticated in how technology can interact with the human brain. Or the Google expeditions that can take you to another place virtually. Maybe these Wearables will be a huge component of defining Web 3.0.

    Everything you are writing about the history of the internet brought me back to college. I remember being in a dorm room and waiting for the dial up to connect so I could go online and read articles but as you said never did i think i would having conversations back and forth with someone at the time.

    It's crazy how the technology in our world changes. I'm always amazed at what will come out next! Will we be taken over by robots?!!

    Technology sure is changing, and it seems that it is changing exponentially! When I graduated from high school my father truly wanted me to get into computers. He said it was the way of the future. Wow....if only I had listened to him back then! I did take a beginner's course in "computers", but back then it was language writing classes, that was it! I took a BASIC course. Then it was something that only scientists and mathematicians really understood. love math and I love science, but really??? I had to drop FAIL because the information about coding just did not penetrate this brain. You can imagine, my dad was not very happy with me. ;-)

    I wonder what other changes will occur within the next year due to the pandemic. Will companies jump on the remote learning bandwagon and come up with more apps/ programs to change educaiton.

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...
