  • Most of us won’t be able to go to Cowboys Stadium on Sunday for Super Bowl XLV, but Google is offering the next best thing: a 3D Google Earth model that lets you fly around, over, inside and through the stadium.

  • Leap Motion – which is basically Kinect on steroids – is a tiny sensor that lets you control your Windows, Mac, or Linux PC with precise mid-air gestures. The company wants to launch with as much great software support as possible, and Google Earth is a big feather in that cap. With version 7.1 for desktops (available now) you can now use Leap to zoom through big cities, rustic boroughs, and Arctic tundra like you’re Obi Wan Kenobi.

mobile apps learning cloud computing

    I've been thinking. If the highest level of e-learning is augmentation of existing teaching and learning capabilities, then why not investigate cloud supercomputers - the logical extrapolation of today's cloud computing. Imagine the learning possibilities if students could easily run simulations using real-world data to investigate real-world phenomena or even social ones, to see what would happen if you tweaked certain environmental / historical conditions. Then teachers could use the various simulated outcomes as a starting point for discussion purposes - e.g. if everyone on earth had a car, what would happen to the earth's temperatures in the next few years? and then ask further questions from there using fundamental principles. Less time spent on tedious models, and more time spent observing systems interactions, may help make the next generation of It sounds like a very high-level concept, but I think a practical example is when I used the speech-to-text convertor feature of an English dictionary app on my iPhone to help a boy learn how to pronounce words correctly. It turned a boring dictionary into a fun interactive game for him, and he learnt a few new words along the way. Just some food for thought this holiday season. Merry Christmas!

    Google just launched Body Browser that let you explore the human body just like you explore the world with Google Earth.But, you need a browser that support WeBGL like Firefox4 beta and Google Chrome Beta. See the unofficial blog for Body Browser http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/12/google-body-browser.html. I have it tried it out.Impressive but not stable in some PC. Excellent tool for teaching staff in sport science, and biology.

    This is cool, will PESS folks be interested?

    Yes, will be introducing to them since it is relevant to them.
