What Did Students Have to Say?
The Good:
“I liked having glass in the classroom to relate
to what we were learning about.”
“I enjoyed the discussions about Glass and
the topics that were brought up during the
discussions like privacy, social decency, and
the implications of wearable technology.”
“Google glass made the class more
interesting.”
The “Meh”:
“It was not particularly academically
valuable, but the novelty of it was still fun.”
“Glass is a neat tool to use, but I'm not
sure the class benefited from it. It wasn't
hurt by any means either, but I don't think
it added to the learning.”
The Bad
“Sharing wasn't fun. It would have been
cool if every group had a pair.”
“In class we only used two features of
Glass for our assignments and that was
taking pictures or videos.”
“I do not think glass is innovative or
efficient enough to use to be used
effectively in a classroom.”
