Pathway Innovations Inc, an education technology company best known for the HoverCam document camera (in 400,000 classrooms across North America), is showcasing eGlass, its latest tool for raising in-class student engagement, at the ISTE Live 21 Ed Tech conference taking place online June 26-30. Educators interested in learning more about eGlass can sign up for 30-minute presentations at: https://conference.iste.org/2021/live/expo/activities/

eGlass is a transparent glass writing board, built-in camera and software package that enables teachers to have their face appear embedded with their writing. "This is a tool that engages students on multiple levels," said Pathway CEO Ji Shen. "Teachers can use their gaze, gestures and body language to emphasize written points. Students, meanwhile, feel they have a 1-to-1 connection with their teacher."

Using eGlass, teachers never need to turn their back to write on a traditional board, or look down to work on a computer or tablet. Their eyes are on their students the entire time.

The effectiveness of lightboard pedagogy will be discussed daily at ISTE with presentations by blended learning specialist Marcia Kish and eGlass' Craig Justice. Kish uses eGlass to coach teachers on how to incorporate technology and other blended learning practices into their in-classroom, hybrid and distance learning instruction.  Register for any of the following sessions at https://conference.iste.org/2021/live/expo/booth/index.php?id=659736.
