"What I'm excited by making these videos is not only that they're filmed with Google Glass, but they're high engagement videos, so they're meant to be really short and to get kids to think about how math and science is all around," he said. "I suppose I could have done that before, but it's just so easy now."Andrew Vanden Heuvel from the Journal article 9/11/13: http://thejournal.com/Articles/2013/09/11/How-Educators-Are-Really-Using-Google-Glass.aspx?Page=1#WPTXm0bxHRV63z2M.99
