Technology is awesome!

I just came across this article about Google Glass.  This is a new device that will eventually replace cell phones.  It is warn on the head, and has an eye piece to view time and other phone features.  It is astounding to think how quickly technology is evolving. As teachers, we need to expose students to technology as much as possible.  If students are to be prepared for a 21st century world, they need the appropriate background and tools to be successful.  This article just goes to show how much technology plays a role in our everyday lives.

  1. I agree, this seems so futuristic and really shows how far technology has come! Kinda scary to think about what kind of distraction this might pose though! It will be interesting to see what comes of this type of technology!

  2. This is amazing! I continue to be in shock about all that we can do with technology! The kids probably knew about this long ago, but it still blows my mind! I am that "nervous buyer" because I swear, every time something new comes out, something else even better follows right behind! We'll see about Google glass!

  3. I saw this article too. How interesting. What are they going to think of next? I am a little apprehensive about the distraction it would cause too. Here is a link to a local teacher that has already tried them out.
