My iPhone is one of the old 3G versions and serves me just fine so I'm not a person who runs out to buy the latest gadgets. However, I'm intrigued by the possible educational uses of wearable technology and therefore am on the lookout for ways instructors and students may use the Smartwatch.
I've mentioned before that the POD (Professional and Organizational Development Network for Higher Education listserv has much useful information including technology discussions. From a recent posting, I discovered that Chris Clark from Notre Dame created a Youtube video to show what possible educational uses the Smartwatch may have:
I love the idea of using the Smartwatch to conduct polls! For more ideas and discussion, check out Chris' article: https://ltlatnd.wordpress.com/2015/03/12/smartwatches-in-higher-ed/
Do you think the Smartwatch will complement or even replace cell phones? Join me in the watch for possible pedagogical uses of the Smarthwatch and other wearable technology.
Interesting--I have been watching (like everyone else) the news about the Smartwatch, but hadn't thought about pedagogical applications. Thanks!
