Intel, Luxottica Team Up To Create Ultimate Wearable

Assignment Title:  Week 7 Blog



They see no reason to break their alliances with Google Glass. 
By Lauren Orsini – December 3, 2014

Since I have worn eyeglasses for over fifty years, this article is quite interesting.  I would like to see what high-tech glasses look like and what they would cost.  The article tells how the fashion and tech worlds are working together to make a new partnership with the Italian eyewear giant Luxottica and American technology.  These companies will work together to develop high tech glasses.  The New York Times has been instrumental in publicizing research.

The 12 Days of Ed Tech (Rap & Video)
by Kelly Walsh on November 30, 2014

Enjoy a fun Holiday Hip-Hop Romp Through the World of Instructional Technology!

This video would excite most of our students because it has such a unique HIP HOP beat. Besides the beat, it delivers a message.  I have used www.Flocabulary
 You tube videos for the ‘order of operations’ or PLEASE EXCUSE MY DEAR AUNT SALLY. 

Since students learn better from creativity and fun, I would use the web site shared by Hartzell, www.rappingacrossthecurriculum.weebly.com to get my students engaged in their math assignments.  These raps would also be ideal for other classroom activities to get students more engaged in learning but having fun as well.
