Google Glass

          Google Glass has been around for a few years now and currently retails for anywhere between $1075.00 and $1499.00. (https://www.amazon.com/Google-Glass-Explorer-BLACK-GRAY/dp/B00I4CLB6I ). They are essentially worn as glasses and works similar to a mobile device. The content is projected onto the glasses for you to see. A neat feature that Google Glasses has that is similar to many products on the market now is that it responds to voice commands.

          There are many uses of Google Glass that include but are not limited to having the capability to record up information such as directions or maps. Google Glass will allow you to stay connected to an interactive environment at all times.

           The article discussed five different ways that Google Glass could be used in the classroom. They are as follows:
1. Learn new languages- this feature allows real time decoding of languages.
2. Create presentations and research materials- Google Glass gives you the opportunity to take photos and videos.
3. Quick on the go research- Using Google Glass you have a web browser at your fingertips at all times.
4. Build portfolios- The user can capture visual content and interact with others to get feedback from other people.
5. New courses, skills and careers- New apps and tools will be developed and that platform will continue to grow.

            The possible future uses of Google Glass is very limited due to its price point. New emerging interactive technologies are being released all the time that do similar things that just may not be wearable. The first ones that come to mind are Amazon's Dot and Echo as well as Siri with Apple. I did a little extra research to try and get a peek at what might be on the horizon and there is limited information available on Google Glass other than they were originally called the "Explorer Program" and it appears that it is now discontinued and the website simply states that "The journey doesn't end here" as if there are more things coming though I have not been able to find much information past this point.
