in your sofa cushions?

Hey, who am I?

I am dreamer.

I spend far too much time thinking about the world that could be.

This has lead to my interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) and how

IoT will change the world generally and the classroom specifically.

I am very good at bad Photoshop.

So what is the Internet of Things?

Internet of Things

(according to Huntley’s Consolidated Dictionary)

noun

1. A Thing connected to the Internet.

2. Smart cities, smart building, smart homes and things out of the future that

are promised for tomorrow but we don’t have yet, so who cares?

@kshuntley#MootNZX @kshuntley

here now and have arrived without us really noticing.

Okay,

All that’s great,

but back to my question:

@kshuntley#MootNZX @kshuntley

Can you use lose Moodle

@kshuntley#MootNZX @kshuntley

Moodle on the Raspberry Pi

@kshuntley

“Okay, that’s kinda small.

But I couldn’t lose it in my sofa cushions.

I mean, you still gotta plug it in and stuff.”

#MootNZX @kshuntley

Moodle on the Raspberry Pi Zero with a Pi Zero IoT Hat

@kshuntley

“Okay, I could lose that in the sofa cushions.

But what’s the point?”

#MootNZX @kshuntley

“What’s the point?”

@kshuntley

The point is this is changing everything.

It’s the perfect storm people! It’s Crowdfunding meeting the Shenzhen

AliBaba machine creating cheap Single Board Computers.

Computers are being distributed on magazine covers.

Computers are disposable now.

You could put computers in vending machines now.

This should be blowing your mind!

#MootNZX @kshuntley

Let’s put it this way

@kshuntley

Ship’s Computer

What they told

us the future

will be.

What the

future will be.

#MootNZX @kshuntley

“I still don’t get it.” and/or “Big deal, I already know this”

@kshuntley

Okay, think about this:

How much did your first computer cost?

That first one you took to Uni or TAFE, how ever many years ago it was that you pretend wasn’t really that long ago, but

probably was longer than you’d like to admit, OMAG Am I over 40?

Raspberry Pi Zero was the $5 computer

It actually was the £5 computer

You still had to buy all the special bits and pieces

Pine A64 is $15 with a lot more guts

Indiegogo campaign for a $1 computer

The hardware will be cheap enough that we can teach programming to any kid on the planet.

Or...

@kshuntley

I just wanted an excuse to show off my Raspberry Pi Zero.
