Toys Children Play With & Higher Ed

Here is a new toy that may or may not be the next big thing. This toy and others similar to it will change the nature of Higher Education in ten or fifteen years.
Children who play with such toys will expect their school work to be presented in the same manner.   We have something similar to this in Higher Education. It is called Hybrid or Blended courses. These courses are presented both in person (the traditional mode) and online.
Another way this could go is that more and more classes will implement the Flip Classroom where lectures are online and the students show up for in person tutoring on the points they do not understand.

Early Adopter

I was bored and my eyes were hurting me from looking at the screeen. I decided to buy an Entourage Edge. This little device has two screens one using the new e-ink (similar to the Kindle) and a regular computer screen. It can surf the net and has WiFi capabilities. It runs on the Android operating system. You can look at the video of the device below. I will tell you if I am enjoying this new toy or if I was disappointed by it.
