I loved this, but let it be known that this may be the day computers will refer back to as “D-Day” :) – at Bakersfield, CA
I already did an Amazon search, they don’t offer two day delivery on this item! 👎🏻 – at Bakersfield, CA
The isolator helmet was a device invented by Hugo Gernsback in 1925 to help people concentrate and eliminate distractions. The helmet was made of wood and felt, and had three pieces of glass that allowed the wearer to see only a narrow slit in front of them.
The helmet also blocked out all sounds, and had a tube that supplied oxygen to the wearer. The idea was that by isolating the senses, the wearer could focus better on reading or writing.
However, the helmet also had some drawbacks, such as making the wearer drowsy after 15 minutes, and being very bulky and uncomfortable. Gernsback claimed that the helmet was 90-95% efficient in blocking out noise, but he only made 11 helmets and they disappeared by 1926. The isolator helmet was featured in Gernsback’s magazine Science and Invention, and later inspired other similar devices such as the Helmfon.

One way to support students through data talks while bolstering literacy?

🔎Looking for an activity that uses several of the micro:bit (V2) features at the same time? Check out this from @jse_CSUB: they used the magnetometer, radio AND data logging in this car & ramp experiment. Great to see the micro:bit used in other curriculum areas!
#microbit #STEM
Hello @microbit_edu, we have programmed two microbits to serve as timing gates that send their start and stop times (gate A and B) to a third micro:bit "hub" which is making good use of the new data logger extension. Both timing gates are triggered by the magnetometer.
ALT Setup. The hub was added so students could take this microbit to their stations and review data. The other two microbit gates are fixed to the ramp.

Q4: For the last prompt on our slow chat activity, please reflect on our tech "Quest" activities by answering the following question. @csubted @jse_CSUB #csubEDTE4200
Q3: Today's question is about technology that students may use while working with others in small group settings. @csubted @jse_CSUB #csubEDTE4200
Q2: This is a different type of question for our Slow Chat. I am interested in hearing about some of the educators you may be following on social media and why? #csubEDTE4200 @csubted @jse_CSUB
After you have introduced yourself to our community, please answer the following question below. Please reply and respond to your peers. @csubted @jse_CSUB #csubEDTE4200

Just concluded a full week of writing dedicated to my dissertation proposal. Chapter 3 is coming together finally. Thank you @TTUEducation for hosting the writing retreat. Good food, great discussions, and great mentorship, how couldn’t we be productive? – at Lubbock, TX
