\nI’m thinking out loud again…<\/span><\/p>\n

What if were were to be able to take the “If This Then That (IFTTT)” concept\/capabilities and combine it with sensor-based technologies?\u00a0 <\/strong>It seems to me that we’re at the very embryonic stages of some very powerful learning scenarios, scenarios that are packed with learning potential, engagement, intrigue, interactivity, and opportunities for participation.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, what would happen if you went to one corner of the room, causing an app on your mobile device to launch and bring up a particular video to review?\u00a0 Then, after the viewing of the video, a brief quiz appears after that to check your understanding of the video’s main points. Then, once you’ve submitted the quiz — and it’s been received by system ABC — this triggers an unexpected learning event for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Combining the physical with the digital…<\/span><\/p>\n

Establishing IFTTT-based learning playlists…<\/span><\/p>\n

Building learning channels…learning triggers…learning actions…<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting a schedule of things to do for a set of iBeacons over a period of time (and being able to save that schedule of events for “next time”).<\/span><\/p>\n

Hmmm…there’s a lot of potential here!<\/span><\/p>\n

Now throw augmented reality, wearables, and intelligent tutoring into the equation! Whew!

We need to be watching out for how machine-to-machine (M2M) communications can be leveraged in the classrooms and training programs across the globe.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

One last thought here…
\nHow are we changing our curricula to prepare students to leverage the power of the Internet of Things (IoT)?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
