ILP “Participation” – Google Glass

I had no experience with the Google Glass before my use of it in the tech sandbox. When I first put them I thought they were a really cool device that had a large number of benefits to the class room. As I tried to use it, however, I realized that it was a lot more difficult then I initially thought. The hardest part in using it for me is between the voice command and the side touch-pad. The google glass has awesome voice command features, but the problem is that other people voices affected my use of the google glass at times. The google glass voice command feature should be more focused to the users voice. I also found the side touch-pad on the side was hard to control and use at times because it was so soft to the touch. I feel like there were still more positives then negatives. I feel like the features for star-gazzing, taking pictures, and taking video could be really useful in the classroom. In the end, I feel that if certain improvements are made the google glass can be a vital classroom tool but for right now it is still a work in progress.
