Cool stuff coming out of the CES show - for educators

OK, so I admit it.... I am a tech junkie.  If I had a lot of money, I would buy all sorts of things: smart watches, the "Ring" interface, home automation and so on!

This one really grabbed my attention for elementary schools.  I have been a HUGE proponent in using physical manipulatives over digital manipulatives in the lower grades. There are so many studies showing how working in the physical realm creates pathways in the brain and encourages neuron growth in small children.  So when I saw this interesting concept from Hewlett Packard, I just had to share it with all of you.

So, what do you think?  Is this a good synergy between digital and physical?
