The Goal:

The Disclaimers1. Some of these are
just plain nuts….I am not advocating the purchase of the device. Although, I have and love some
2. Some have NO benefit to the classroom, some
could if you got creative, and some for sure could be used in the classroom
3. Different Versions Will be on the Same Page.
Think all the different Fit Bits.
4. We won’t go over all the different versions in
the main categories. There are simply to many
different wearable cameras, health trackers, and watches. We will hit
the highlights
5. This highlights consumer tech so
nothing like prosthetics
6. I do not claim that these product do what
they say….Do your RESEARCH
