This video shows how to use itouch and google docs for a classroom. (I prefer polleverywhere for this.) This video demonstrates how to do this.

Harnessing itouches as an inexpensive way to use a voting system in the classroom. Thsi video shows you how.

i think this video might help, because it addresses the differences between open content, and content that is controlled.\n

Important video for gesture based students to view. This is about the evolution of input into the computer.

Phone hacker Chris Hughes demos an open source software project that makes creating "augmented reality" a cinch. He shows how a virtual object (like a 3D spaceship), in cahoots with live footage, can interact with the real world right through a web browser. via Chris Hughes: Augmented reality made easy | Video on TED.com.

TED Talks. A demonstration of Augmented Reality technology and how it is used today, for more than video games. Most people use this technology everyday.

This video presents some good ideas on the internet on phones and other mobile devices. it also has some pretty interesting ideas as well. It's pretty long but if you watch it all, its pretty cool

Mobile Computing

A great video about electronic books and what's happening in this area ! It discusses devices and how they've change and how they will change and much much more

this video is a general overview of pretty much everything that pertains to Gesture-based computing and how our generation is growing with it

Brewster Kahle is building a truly huge digital library -- every book ever published, every movie ever released, all the strata of web history ... It's all free to the public -- unless someone else gets to it first.

Augmented Reality (AR) is an interactive experience where virtual components are dynamically merged into a live video stream in real time

During the 2007-2008 school year, Wireless Reach began funding Project K-Nect, a pilot project in rural North Carolina where high school students received supplemental algebra problem sets on smartphones (the phones were provided by the project). The outcomes are promising -- classes using the smartphones have consistently achieved significantly higher proficiency rates on their end of course exams. So what's so different about delivering problem sets on a cell phone instead of a textbook? The first obvious answer is that the cell phone version is multi-media. The Project K-Nect problem sets begin with a Flash video visually demonstrating the problem -- you could theorize that this context prepares the student to understand the subsequent text-based problem better. You could also theorize that watching a Flash animation is more engaging (or just plain fun) and so more likely to keep students' attention.

Blaise Aguera y Arcas leads a dazzling demo of Photosynth, software that could transform the way we look at digital images. Using still photos culled from the Web, Photosynth builds breathtaking dreamscapes and lets us navigate them.

All videos are examples of how augmented reality can be use educationally.

This video is so awesome! How crazy is this technology, who even knows this is possible? Our future is in the fate of things like moving objects on a screen with your hands!

This has a great video and great information about the Microsoft's Project Natal.

This video shows how good visual data can improve learning

Devices such as the Amazon Kindle, the Sony Reader, the Stanza iPhone application, and many others are changing how people access books and (more importantly) how authors reach readers. This video is a reprise of my presentation from BookCamp Vancouver 2009 - it provides an overview of the current state of the e-book market, an introduction to the technology, and a summary of the session's discussion on the ramifications of this disruptive development for publishers, authors, and readers alike

You've never seen data presented like this. With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, statistics guru Hans Rosling debunks myths about the so-called "developing world."
