Today students held hands as their planes were shot down in Dunkirk... but they LIVED to WRITE about it. The power of VR to teach EMPATHY and PROPEL WRITING astounds! #VR #MixedReality #WritingtoLearn #edutwitter #VrinEdu

Managed to create space within a busy week for Modern World History students to explore the relationship between art and politics. We ventured through impressionist paintings by Monet, expressionist works by Van Gogh, Surrealism by Dali, and Cubism from Picasso! @TheRHSRiders

Great example of stations using VR! My HTC Vives are having some pairing issues, but I hope to get here soon!
How do we manage #VRinedu when we only have 7 headsets for 26 kids? Let's do a rotation where one group works with @MetaQuestVR and the others learn about digital music tools! #Steam

Had the opportunity to take Art students to the Lascaux Caves in France in #VR before they launched into creating their own cave paintings! Amazing work by @TheRHSRiders students in Ms. Allen’s class. @mergeedu

Today students were transported to Verona, Italy for a little world-building exercise before reading Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare would be surprised by how we experience his works today!

Google Cardboard (or the more durable Merge Goggles) are ABSOLUTELY an affordable gateway to virtual reality in education. It has consistently impacted our students in Fresno.

Added some REAL MAGIC to our Hogwarts classroom with @Curiscope #AR science posters. The interactivity really makes this Astronomy Tower “pop!” @TheRHSRiders

I am struggling to replace Google Expeditions. I would be happy if Google Arts and Culture OR even Google Street View offered VR options, but, alas, Google has sloughed off VR completely. HELP WANTED.

For visual learners, “this is where VR and AR can add real value to the learning process. These ‘extended reality’ (XR) technologies can create immersive worlds where students can visualize concepts and learn new skills and information in an interactive way.”

Yesterday in @vreducation a small group of us gathered to be wowed by @deep_rifter & @danieldbryant with terrific features from using green screen to hopping worlds viewing 360 videos in virtual space. Thank you Devs and people that make this possible. đŸ‘©â€đŸ”§đŸ’Ș

Yeah, those “toxic” textbook pics really turned me off to high art. 🙄Guess students shouldn’t experience art until they can access the actual Mona Lisa.
