- Google Classroom
While Microsoft's OneLive is improving, when you look at the video above, you realize how quickly Microsoft is losing the future. Assuming more and more kids are learning with Google Drive, then, one might assume they will continue with it...
- A Short How To Flip Post
At the end of the month, George Coe and I are co-presenting on flipping the classroom. Below is the PowerPoint we will be using. The hardest thing to do is to cut what you want to lecture to ten or fewer minutes. To create the lecture watch...
- Project Glass & Never Leaving Your Mobile Device
Project Glass is a cool project that Google is working on right now where you literally can wear glasses and see what is in the video above. It will make it hard to drive, but with a Google car, you won't have to even do that. Of course,...
- New Google Changes
Google has been making a lot of changes recently to streamline all of its offerings into one area (part of CEO Larry Page's design) and in turn get people to join Google+. I've read that it is up to 100 million, but my sense (and it is...
- Google + For Teachers
I hope you are going to be hearing a lot more about Google + as it might help teachers where Facebook has not. While Facebook is just a tremendous way that teachers could have kids talking about assignments after hours, most school systems ban...

Google Glasses
If there is one main idea I want to get across in this blog it is that teachers should be changing all the time (and I assume in coming to this site you probably are). While Google's glasses are still a ways away (as are the contact lenses that are also being developed), it does beg the question how will they (esp. the latter) change our classrooms. My hope is that they will push more educators (be they teachers, administrators or policy makers) to the upper reaches of Bloom's taxonomy and get us to more interactive assignments that focus on using the Internet as a resource to allow our students to create and truly think and not just spit back facts. Until that time, though, please watch the video above and think how you are working towards a different classroom with our current tools. If you want more, here is the Google+ page for the project and an article.
