Will wearable tech become a classroom mainstay?
Will wearable tech become a classroom mainstay?
Dive Brief:
- Declining costs mean that emerging wearable technology is more accessible than ever, and it may soon find its place in classrooms.
- Sensory-based learning facilitated by wearable tech can particularly serve students who have trouble focusing on lectures and reading, enabling a physical experience.
- Many lesson plans, tools, and tips about incorporating wearable tech are free and can be found online.
Dive Insight:
A 2015 New Media Consortium Horizon Report estimated that the advent of wearable technology products will soon become “mainstream,” incorporating virtual reality and enabling novel experiential learning. For example, Google Cardboard’s virtual field trip software, Expeditions, is now being tested in the U.S. and abroad.
Yet securing funding for wearable tech, especially for rural schools still struggling with basic Internet connections, will likely remain challenging.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
