Great article about an emerging piece of technology hardware. It made me wonder about the new types of hardware and software we will be using in the near future. The "Day Made of Glass2" video is about 6 min. long and worth watching. I saw the original "Day Made of Glass" video in 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cf7IL_eZ38 (also about 6 min.) The 2nd one is great because it shows how students and teachers can use the new technology. Enjoy! :-)
