36 Ways to use Wearable Technology in the Classroom"
 
                Google Glass looks like a winner and could be helpful to teach students in many ways.  This article really helped open my eyes to what can be done with this technology.  Some of the ideas are not applicable for my class but many did.  I liked the idea of using Glass as a way to take pictures and videos while keeping one's hands free which sounds like a great idea.   Students won't have to carry a camera and can use their hands to do other things such as direct students in a video, pick objects up and record them , and allows for lots of movement and freedom.  I could also have students make and edit presentations and go on live field trips to places that might be too costly to do because of cost and other issues.  I also like the idea that if a class does go on a field trip the teacher can keep track of their students' locations. I also like the ideas of how it can be used remotely which would be a huge help with what we are dealing with today.

    From what you and Jeanine are saying it seems like Google Glass is something administration can use with the teachers and something that teachers can use with students so hopefully we can incorporate it into our classrooms in the near future.

    I like the idea of having the availability of Google Glass for use in the schools, especially for administrative uses from what I have determined. This may work for a program like mine, but HIPAA is so huge when in a medical arena that I feel it wouldn't benefit our use as we walk through clinical experiences while in a hospital setting. I think virtual tours, etc. are going to be more conducive when we are discussing privacy issues.

    The remote use is such a great feature, especially like you said in times like this when learning is online. Angela, I agree that HIPAA would not allow for us to use this, but boy it would be ideal.

    I read up on the Google Glass and didn't think about the idea of having a hands-free experience. And the field trips making you feel like if you reach out you could actually touch the objects in front of you. So cool!

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...
