My EDU POV glasses arrived last Tuesday!!!

They look great!  I haven’t had a chance to use them with teachers yet but I have talked to quite a few teachers who are keen to trial them with their classes.

The glasses look like a pair of black sunglasses… but there is a tiny wee webcam mounted in the bridge over the nose.  On one of the arms is a small control panel with an on/off and record button.  The glasses record both audio and sound and have 2 GB memory into which you can plug a USB cable.  You can also insert a tiny MicroSD card and save directly to this if you wish.
These are some of the ides I have discussed with teachers about potential ways for using these in the secondary classroom:

Within the science classroom the opportunities are amazing; The glasses could be used both by teachers and students for recording experiments as they are conducted - leaving hands free to perform the task.

I can see in the future that being able to project the image as it is being recorded would be of huge benefit in the classroom.

These glasses could be incredible time savers for coaches of sports teams as well as collecting valuable information that might otherwise be missed or forgotten.  They would be able to keep their eye on what is happening on the field, whilst keeping a running commentary of what they are seeing and thinking throughout the game.

I can see the potential for these glasses in administering assessment in practical subjects.

I have also just been talking to a secondary school Metal Work teacher who is very keen to use these within his classroom, so as he can record the demonstrations he is doing and loop them on the big screen for students to refer to throughout the lesson!  The opportunities are endless and I look forward to sharing some of the videos here as soon as I get my hands on them!
