2014 Holiday ECards

As has become one of my favorite traditions I present to you cool holiday ecards!

I can't embed this one, but it is pretty cool and very interactive from Ashland University

UConn

 

Don't have the time or the staff to design and create your own card? Have your students do it! Check out the 2014 Alamo College Holiday ECard Contest to get your own contest started.

Here is one of their 2013 winners

There are of course many more examples that you can find. I just wanted to share a couple ideas to get your thought process moving.

Ever been in a classroom and thought hey, I need a CNC machine and this would be a much more awesome concept to present to my students? Well wish no more!!

Check out Handibot (https://handibot.com/).

It is a portable CNC machine capable of working on numerous materials.

Would you like to see a demo?

Immersive Reality

Today we had the opportunity to demo zSpace, an immersive, virtual reality that has endless possibilities in education!

Imagine, holding a beating heart in your hand that you can peel back the layers and even go inside while watching the electrical impulses go around. Being able to interchange batteries and diagnose issues with a rotocopter and getting all eight motors to run.

You can do these things and more with your students and the best part is you can do it all virtually.

Check out the video

 

How would you use this in your classroom?
