Watching
Diana Falzone’s BreakTime! “Is Google Glass half
empty? We examine the pros and cons of this gizmo” and reading an article this
weekend called "Beliefs about Language Learning: Current Knowledge, Pedagogical
Implications and New Research Directions" got my wheels spinning like the parade
of vehicles that was the Grateful Dead from Pittsburgh, PA “trucking up to
Buffalo.”
According to Business Insider (about 1 hour
ago)
Most
People Think Google Glass Is Going To Flop
Tech pundits are still weighing in on Google's computerized glasses, Google Glass.
Tech pundits are still weighing in on Google's computerized glasses, Google Glass.
But getting a free version of a new gadget,
or being rich enough that you can plunk down $1,500 for one, is very different
from actually choosing to buy one as a normal person.
And that, for any new gadget, is where the
rubber meets the road.
However, I say, look at iphone. It has revolutionized
everyday communications in a way I’m sure big old Ma Bell was to weighed down
to foresee let alone dream to release and manage.
Where does a savvy director of business
development and poet dream about crossroads that will further revolutionize not
only business but education too?!
One must not try to argue an upfront
valuable point in Beliefs about Language Learning: Current Knowledge,
Pedagogical Implications and New Research Directions. Yes. Sometimes the truth
stings but almost always the first steps of change are quite painful and met
with overwhelming resistance --- Just in the first paragraph alone it states
that the current methods of learning have become stagnant.
Boom.
Now listen to Perillo Tours family member
and CEO
Welcome to Perillo's Italy
I'll never forget my first impressions of Italy as
an 11 year old boy. Majestic cathedrals. Buzzing motorbikes. I've gone back a
hundred times, sometimes for work, sometimes for play, but always for what
really makes Italy travel great - the reawakening of your senses.Thank you for
your interest in our legendary tours and I look forward to seeing you in Italy!
Milan, Italy
OK, now imagine this 11 year old boy with
Google Glass.
The learning capabilities at that age matched
with gripping engaging, dynamic technology inside an everyday device such as
Goggle Glass and paired up with Rosetta Stone® would occur so seamlessly
that this 11 year old boy wouldn’t even realize he’s learning stuff!
In fact, in this scenario I’m painting for
you I would go so far as to predict this little 11 year old going back to his
dreamy dreadful suburban school district from his Perillo tour of Italy with Rosetta Stone® integrated into Google Glass his director of business development father and CPA mother
bought him and he being so far advanced compared to his peers that a scandal erupts
about the boy cheating in his Italian and social studies classes because of his
effortless good grades.
Culture eats strategy for breakfast, lunch
and dinner.
And, moreover, to further that, if Diana Falzone is programmed into the Google Glass featuring Rosetta Stone® "real" real-time online learning as my emissary = well, I'll pay $2, 500.00. No big deal. ..
Cheers! (with a glass half full).
