One technology I have been keeping my eyes on is Wireless HD. In a typical classroom even if the students each have their own computer, they can’t display what is on their screens on the main classroom projector. With this technology, this will be possible. Right now you have to buy an external box to connect to the projector and laptop, but I think pretty quickly this will be built into those devices as a standard feature.
This will allow a lot more interaction in the classroom so I look at this as a near term disruptive technology.
Awesome!
There is a video of the technology in action at the link.
