Wearable Sensors Could Translate Sign Language Into English

- Wearable sensors could one day interpret the gestures in sign language and translate them into English, providing a high-tech solution to communication problems between deaf people and those who don’t understand sign language.
- Engineers at Texas A&M University are developing a wearable device that can sense movement and muscle activity in a persons arm.
- It works by figuring out the gestures a person is making by using to distinct sensors. One that responds to the motion of the wrist and the other to the muscular movements in the arm.
- A program then wirelessly receives this information and converts the data into the English translation.

     This year I am taking algebra 1 with Mr. Santangelo. He is a math teacher for Wood-Ridge High School. He has been teaching at Wood-Ridge for a few years now. I expected to learn about algebra and how to solve the equations. I haven't really learned anything yet that I did not already know yet. 

   

  Everything he has taught I learned last year with Mr. Min.  He does 10% homework 10% informal assessment and test, quiz, and projects make up the rest. I don't like algebra so I do not look forward to anything in the class. We do not go on any trips and he did not say anything about fun projects.

    We use some technology in algebra 1. We use calculators all the time. Also we use the chromebooks when he made a review game for the quiz but other than that we do not use that much technology.
