Angela Hunger- Article #4

Ted Talk

https://youtu.be/u8tnYt30L-A 

This was a very interesting topic to listen to. Gonzalo discussed the timeline of technology and how it has evolved over the centuries. When we got to 2009, technology seemed to be very technically advanced. It was also interesting to see how much we have evolved over the years. 
I was impressed with the medical aspect and how wearables can impact health care. Wearables can help us collect data for medical research where doctors can learn more about the body and how to help us. 
Wearable technology is going to make a huge impact in our future.

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...
