Glass in the Class Episode 6: What do you mean you're calling me from Glass?
Channel: Glass in the Class
Date: 17/04/2014

Here's the rundown: 

My classroom for 15-20 minutes with my students.
3 perspectives: Google Glass, The computer camera, and the camera on my guest.
Discussing how communication and changing technology has affected the life/work of my guest.

So who's my guest to discuss technological influence you ask?!

One of my biggest inspirations and role models in Plus has always been the amazing +Yifat Cohen, who seems to be on the forefront of everything Google Plus. I mean, she got Google to send her around the world to talk to other people about Plus. Um, sign me up! She's an incredible woman who understands the influence of technology on communication today so that is exactly what she'll be talking to my students about.

They are constantly on their smartphones, tablets, laptops, communicating with others through social media platforms. When they want to talk to me they no longer come to my office hours, they shoot me an email. Half of the work they do for my class is online! With so much of their communication occurring in a mediated context, I want to make sure my students leave my class understanding the implications this has on their communication in the future. And who better to talk about online communication than the woman who talks about it for a living?!

As always I'd also like to thank +John Ellis for running my cameras for me and +todd l lebeauc for the mad imaging skills on the banner!
