About this blog

When most people visit their local eye doctor, it is usually to correct their vision. A visit with my local optometrist resulted in a whole new way of seeing the world… and it had little to do with impaired vision. Dr. Scott Gutshall of Gutshall Blumenstock Eye Care in O’Neill, Nebraska recently acquired a Google Glass invite. Interested in the concept and what Glass might offer his patients, he suggested that I serve as his beta-tester. To be a Glass Explorer was something I had been interested in ever since hearing about the program from my Apple Distinguished Educator and Google Certified Teacher colleagues, but I doubted I would have the funds to justify the expense of the revolutionary gadget. I immediately accepted Dr. Gutshall’s invitation and excitedly embarked on this journey. I promised to share my learning with the community of O’Neill and beyond and thought there was no better way to document the adventure than on this blog. Whether for personal, professional, or educational purposes, subscribe and revisit often to see my progress in this new way of looking at the world.

Learning with others through Google+ Communities

Exploring a new technology is never best taken on alone.  Rather, the field of technology innovation thrives on professional learning networks and human support systems to enhance each and every new discovery.  Google has an answer for these human learning networks as well-- Google+ Communities.

I have discovered and joined two Google+ Communities that I know will be extremely beneficial to me on this Google Glass learning journey.

The first is Glass Explorers

and the second is Google Glass in Education

There are many more to spend time exploring. There is even a community specifically for Glass Journalism Educators!

So pardon me as I can't wait to dig in to the resources and posts shared by these amazing communities of like-minded explorers of Glass.  I have a lot of learning to look forward to!
