Live View is Sony’s “external interface for your android device”. Due late 2010.
Here are 5 possible ways it could be used in the classroom.
1. Physical presence – Easily see what lesson the pupil is due to go to and which room they should be in. Once the pupil has arrived in the room and connected to a specified wireless point then register via an app.
2. Notifications – Receive instant important notifications from the school such as violence/gun threats such as experienced on Tuesday in the USA.
3. Storage – Easily record sound bytes from the class, the device could potentially act as an external microphone
4. Amplification – Supported learning for hard of hearing, specific audio content could be amplified instead of the current “everything is amplified” solution.
5. Bully deterrent – One button push could send an audio stream up to a central server which would mean any negative experience could be recorded.
