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?

MotionSavvy UNI: 1st sign language to voice system
This morning I was listening to the radio and heard a story on a new piece of technology that I thought might be a game changer in education.
Watch the video and decide for yourself...

All I can say is WOW!! The ability for students to sign at a tablet and then have that tablet speak for them would tear down barriers in education! I hope to that this product gets the funding and support it needs to come out at their estimated shipping date of September 2015.
This would be an awesome addition to a program like the Deaf and Hard of Hearing program at Moore Norman Technology Center
Check out their website. What do you think about the UNI?
