This video inspires me because I can
see AVA (formally known as Transcense)
being really effective for group settings (like schools) where it can be
difficult to follow conversation using traditional hearing aids. The means of
technology is easy to use and it happens in real time. Because AVA can be
accessed through phone, ipad, etc. this type of technology is less conspicuous.
It could also be helpful for people who have processing delays. This video is
from two years ago so I’m planning to do some more searching to see where the
product is now in terms of development and availability. Here is the website: https://www.ava.me/about/
I had seen this in the news a few months ago and forgot about it until Barb mentioned it today. This is super cool too!!
iMovie Trailer
This activity was so much fun! I
have never used iMovie Trailers before and I can’t believe how easy and amusing
it was. What a great way to reflect on our learning! Our group focused on
showing how cheap and easy technology can be when you just think outside the
box. Here 5 ways I would use this app in my classroom:
1)
To show what the primary year looks like during
our primary registration information night
2)
To introduce a new unit of study with the kids (ex.
cultural studies, patterns unit)
3)
To reflect on student learning at the end of a
unit
4)
To pull together photos and video from a class trip
5)
To make a compilation of student’s artwork
