We had a great topic today in my graduate course: using issues in the news to help solve problems technologically. One example was the Chilean miners, when they were trapped underground for so long. I'd love to do a lesson where my students think of simple technological solutions for a complex real-life scenario. Then, we could discover how the problem was actually solved and compare and contrast it to what we had determined. This helps to teach that technology transcends computers, classrooms, and gadgets to having real-life applications. It's so exciting to think of discovery-based lessons like these that have broader implications for learning!
Also, here's a great video about a project by Ramesh Raskoor, this amazing new imaging technology that has so many implications for our society, including taking videos of the body without an x-ray. This would be a great thing to share with your students about cutting-age technology! I hope we can inspire some curiosity! Thanks for reading!
