My students know so much about where they live; about our state and community! But, recently I was reminded of our limitations when I had to explain that hummingbirds were real. Imagine what it would be like to be a kid, stuck inside for part of winter at -40, but with a headset that can take them anywhere! With these tools, small groups of students can explore Jamestown while we learn about colonization! They can see the kelp forest "in person" as we learn about ecosystems and habitats! They can enjoy gazing at a skyscraper as we test different shapes for earthquake safety and build our own towers. Imagine what it would be like to leave your classroom, just for a moment, and step into another world! This will enhance my student's engagement in the learning material, increase their understanding, and motivate them -- an experience they'll never forget!
