After watching Dr. Haskell's video on technology invention tools, there were many that I found very interesting. While teaching, connecting all of your iPads over bluetooth to your computer opens up a lot of really cool ideas. I really was drawn to the ideas addressed in the video, that a student from anywhere could be connected to what was happening in class. The augmented reality visualization tool was my particular favorite. It lets you use iPads to toggle and view an object that you don't have in real life, to be seen and experienced in 4D. This tool would be amazing for teaching science, and letting students explore things like cells, or electron levels, when the real 3D models aren't affordable or available. The hands on participation that students would take would really grab their attention, and enhance their understanding. It truly is "magical" as is said in the video.
