Estimote iBeacons

iBeacons

My Estimate iBeacon developers kit arrived today as promise!

I first got a taste of the power of Apple iBeacon technology this summer in San Diego during an Apple Distinguished Educators summer institute. It uses bluetooth and proximity sensors to detect locations and proximity ideal for indoor locations and in absence of GPS. How this technology will apply to education is still an unknown but I am very interested to find out.

There will be some serious R&D to be had for sure as the true power requires some coding with some SDKs but I always have hungry students looking to explore the latest and greatest innovations. The best part is the technology is new to all of us and we can explore together.

We are very excited about the introduction of Classroom by Google.

With classroom, we have a seamless solution to organizing announcements, discussions and assignments. In addition, Classroom seamlessly integrates with Google Drive allow us to work directly from classroom as well as share files, docs and more.

We hope you are enjoying your summer break and look forward to seeing you in September. As well, we are looking forward to meeting our new class of 2019.
