Technology Pick of the Week
My technology pick of the week this week is a report that is hot off the presses and I always assign this report to my preservice teachers as required reading. The name of this report is the Horizon Report 2010 and a link is available in the show notes.

Horizon Report 2010
http://www.nmc.org/publications/2010-horizon-report

This free report was released last week by the New Media Consortium and the Educause Learning Initiative provides a look into the future by projecting current technology trends out to five years and discusses their relevance to learning. The report discusses mobile computing, open content, ebooks, simple augmented reality, gesture based computing, and visual data analysis. This report has many examples of how up-and-coming technologies are being used inside and outside the classroom to benefit the learning experience. The report is only 40 pages long and is well worth the read so be sure to check it out.

That wraps it up for episode 104 of TechTalk4Teachers. Show notes for this episode and archived episodes are available on the web at the EIU Instructional Technology Center website at http://www.eiu.edu/itc To leave a comment or suggestion please send an email to techtalk@eiu.edu or leave a comment on the TechTalk4Teachers blog. Until next time this is Tom Grissom, keep on learning!

Windows 10 Will Soon Show Edge Browser Tabs in Alt+Tab

Alt+Tab is useful for switching between windows, but it can't help you find that browser tab you had open in one of your windows. Soon, Windows 10 will show all your open Edge browser tabs alongside your windows. When this change is available, you can just use the new Microsoft Edge browser normally. When you Alt+Tab , all your browser tabs will appear as their own thumbnail—as if they were their own browser windows. Microsoft Don't like this? That's fine. Microsoft says you can disable it from Settings > System > Multitasking. You can also set it to only show your last three or five browser tabs so tab overload doesn't swamp your Alt+Tab switcher, too. This feature is just for Microsoft Edge right now, but we could easily see it coming to other web browsers. Edge is based on the same Chromium code that forms the basis for Chrome, for example—Google might enable this feature in Google Chrome, too. It's easy to see Mozilla Firefox taking advant...

How to Use Your iPhone as a Webcam

NYC Russ/Shutterstock Webcams can be expensive and hard to find right now. On top of that, their video quality is probably worse than your iPhone's camera. So, why not use your iPhone as a webcam for your video meetings instead? Here's how to do it. First, Consider Using iPhone Apps Instead Using your iPhone as a webcam requires that you install an app on your iPhone (which must be running for it to function), and a companion app on your Windows PC or Mac. The setup is fairly simple, but there's an even simpler alternative: native apps. If you want a webcam to make Skype calls, chat with colleagues on Zoom or Slack, or simply catch up with friends via WhatsApp, consider just downloading the relevant iPhone app instead. These apps are purpose-built for a mobile experience, so they work great on the small screen. If you want a hands-free experience when using your iPhone like this, invest in a cheap tripod . You can buy tripod mounts for smartphones to adapt any...

Cooler Master’s latest all-in-one liquid coolers crank up the light show

These are the first coolers from Cooler Master to have addressable RGB LEDs. RGB lighting is practically everywhere these days, but until now, you couldn't purchase a liquid cooler from Cooler Master that had individually addressable RGB LEDs. That changes with the introduction of the MasterLiquid ML240R RGB and ML120R RGB , both of which are all-in-one liquid coolers. Both coolers have a newly designed pump with 12 addressable RGB LEDs on the water block and eight more on each fan. Cooler Master intends to release a new software utility called MasterPlus+ that will give users complete control over the lighting. Alternatively, the LEDs are compatible with addressable software offered for select ASRock, Asus, and MSI motherboards. Cooler Master said it designed both coolers in-house, meaning these aren't rebranded coolers. Part of that custom design includes a low profile dual chamber pump that separates incoming coolant from the radiator-bound coolant. "Cooler Master’s un...
