The future had better hurry up so we can get there and have these cool holographic keyboards. No battery life but cool keyboards. I am sure the boffins will sort something out about battery life. I was reminded of this clip because some boys had typed some of their Puppet Pals’ dialogue in Notes and then just wiped it and shut down the app. They then got out pens and paper and said it would be quicker. They weren’t comfortable with the touch keyboard and thought it slowed them down. I find the touch keyboard fine. I said as digital students the touch keyboard should be their thing. They wanted a proper keyboard. That surprised me and then I remembered this video clip and showed them the opening picture of a holograph keyboard. Their eyes lit up. They thought it was so cool and I could imagine my school desks being full holograph keyboards. The students had loved the lesson the student teacher had planned with them on an iPad so it was interesting to see some digital students reject touch keyboards when they love tablet and mobile phone technology and are growing up with it. Until the future is here I am wondering how much bluetooth keyboards would be at school prices.
