    Helping Kids Through Glass

    We had a great Hangout on Air Friday, March 6 and learned so much from Dr. Joe, Roxanne and Rick. The topic was Kids and the ways Google Glass can be used in education and health. Dr. Joe Cohen discussed his Kiddo EMR practice management tool which utilizes Google Glass for data input. Roxanne Riskin and Rick Sare discussed their series of books built around Glass photos. I have Glass on the Beach and highly recommend it. Roxanne is a learning technologist who speaks to Glass and wearables in the classroom. Other book in the series are here. Check it out and share

    Experiencing Google Developer Office Hours

    I had the pleasure this past week to attend Google Glass Developer Office Hours and Design Sprint, held at the “Base Camp” high above Chelsea Market in Mid-town Manhattan. As a member of the Google Glass Explorers, I’ve learned that Google is not the typical software company. They do not follow the norms many of us have come to take for granted from large organizations. For one, they treat us beta testers as members of the team. They’ll take my calls, answer emails and meet in person as often as needed to help developers become the best that they can be.
