Session description

We'll explore the latest developments in AR/VR that continue to improve interactions, access, and innovation. Gain a deeper understanding of the potential of immersive technology to transform the future of education. What can we expect to see in the coming years, and what does it mean for the classroom?

Purpose & objective

The session will show the top AR/VR/MR concepts to be aware of for future classrooms and how these tools can create new ways of learning. Participants will interact with the current tools while learning about the benefits. I will include visuals that showcase a snapshot of the tools and what steps to take next to bring these types of resources into the classroom.

Outline

I will begin the session on the difference between AR, VR, MR, 3D, 360, and metaverse concepts (blockchain, digital identity, NFTs). The attendees will discover an example in each of these immersive technologies (40 mins). We will explore new considerations that are missing in the classroom but must be the foundational skills students need as we move forward. (10 mins).
At the conclusion of the session, attendees will have a chance to share practical ideas for effective implementation.
