Virtual Reality overlay - the world is changing!!!

Welcome back to everyone!!

For some of you, school has been running for a few weeks and for others, this is the first week back.

Well, as you can well imagine, for us at the Consortium, the last month and a half has been busy beyond belief.  This is the first week that I have had any time to sit and actually create a blog post.  So, here goes.....

Question:  What IS the world that our students are graduating into?  For our elementary school partners, that question is much different than it is for our high schools.  As our students graduate, what will the world be like?  ICT (Information and Computer Technology) is not just a tablet or laptop any more.  With Apple just releasing its AppleWatch with the iPhone 6 "phablet" and Google Glass, we actually live in a more cybernetic world than ever before.  "Full Experience Virtual Reality" is now making a BIG PUSH and is changing the paradigm on how - as workers - we engage our jobs.

Please watch the below video from DAQRI. This is a device that is going to market - very soon.  Prototypes are already out!!  How will this change the way we have to teach our children?

Please share your thoughts and ideas on the blog site.

Warmest Regards on the return to school.
