Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

This presentation was requested by ISTE staff during a general conversation I had with them. I mentioned how much benefit I am getting out of VR during the Pandemic and they wanted me to speak about it and I am happy to do so. VR has helped me keep social, active, learning and relaxing. It has also helped my wellbeing during this unique time.
