RealSense Technology...What is it?

RealSense Technology is a 3D camera that can capture images, gesture control, video, and scan 3-D images.  You can attach to your smartphone, desktop computer, laptop computer, or tablet. It uses various technologies to achieve depth perception, 3-D imaging, interior mapping, and feature tracking. RealSense technology not only allows you to edit photos and videos, but it also allows you to make accurate measurements of things in your videos or pictures.  You can scan people and objects in using this technology and print it out using a 3-D printer, making it come to life!  This would be an awesome tool to use in a science or social studies classroom.  The camera allows the computer to recognize objects and people and navigate the environment. A person can take a picture with their Realsense technology and make it move using their hands.  They can become part of the experience. Using the Realsense camera the user can change the backgrounds of their pictures, enable special effects, and enhance colors.  The 3-D camera can track 22 points, and this is what allows it to interpret your gestures and bring them to life on your screen. This technology is amazing because if you are collaborating with someone, you almost feel like you are in the same room looking at the same item. You can also shop online using this technology because some retail stores are even testing out Realsense technology so that when consumers are shopping online, they can capture their body shape and "try on" clothes to see how it will look on them. You can try on different sizes to see which one you "fits" you best.  This will take online shopping to a whole new level...pretty soon you will not have to leave your couch!

Watch Out For This Online Learning Trend...

The online learning trend that I explored was personalized learning.  Personalized learning is changing the pace of instructions, being able to differentiate instruction according to the student, allow the users to choose their own learning path, and using the student's experiences and interest to meet their needs.  We use Compass at our school, it does not let them choose their own path, but it gives them a path based on their STAR test scores, differentiating their instruction.  They can also go at their own pace.   Using technology in your classroom is a great way to personalize learning because you do not have to use the same content delivery method for each student.  It is also a good idea because students do not have to be embarrassed because they are not doing the same tasks as others.  There are many different apps to use for personalized learning.  Nearpod -  https://nearpod.com/ Nearpod is a great way to present information...

The Future of Cellphone Connectivity

Cellphone providers are trying to make it possible to bypass for smartphones to avoid using cellular towers and this will help prevent glitches.  The new technology is called LTE Direct; it allows smartphones to communicate with each other and use beacons that are located in various places.  LTE Direct can reach further than Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.  This technology also allows users to connect automatically with people that are close to them.  It also allows the user to discover businesses and points of interest that are nearby.  This technology would make dining out so much easier!  The LTE Direct technology would also enable personalized advertising when you are close to a business that you frequent.  Your device is always searching for nearby people and locations, but it will not drain your battery because it uses little power.  Yahoo is trying to develop an app that would like your personal tour guide.  You tell it how long you have fr...

Horizon Report p. 14-15

Good afternoon everyone!  Teachers, we know that video tutorials have become an excellent way to reinforce skills that we have taught in class.  If our students are struggling with a math homework problem, they can go home and pull up a Khan Academy video or even use the Photomath app to help them figure out how to solve the problem.  You guys may think this idea is crazy, but what if we allowed our students to make their own videos to show what they know?!  Our students making videos would not only be beneficial for them, but it would also benefit our struggling students.  Some students may grasp the skill better by hearing the information from a peer because they can relate to each other’s way of thinking.  Also, allowing our students to create videos also shows that they have a deeper understanding of the skill that they are teaching.  Some students have difficulty putting their thoughts and work on paper, and this will give those student...
