EdTech Situation Room Episode 12

Welcome to episode 12 of the EdTech Situation Room from June 1, 2016, where technology news meets educational analysis. This weekJason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed spatial computing, an amazing discovery in Kazakhstan from 2015 by a Google Earth user, and the way app designers often intentionally create digital addictions using "intermittent variable rewards" like slot machines in casinos. They also offered predications for Apple announcements at the upcoming WWDC and the first use of a military-grade drone in the continental United States for an agricultural bio-technology mapping project. Geeks of the week the retirement (death?) of some much-beloved Google Chrome extensions as well as Adobe's 2.0 version of the Adobe Voice app: Adobe Spark. Special kudos to our top fan and webcast attendee Peggy George in Phoenix, Arizona!
