Session description

This session will explain and show how students will build virtual reality environments to allow students to display their content knowledge from various subject areas. All steps of the lesson planning will be presented to allow attendees to utilize these lessons in their classrooms.

Outline

I will begin the session by briefly introducing myself and my background.
The core of my session will be about the process of teaching students to build virtual reality environments to display content learned in different subject areas. Multiple examples of different lessons will be shown and shared with the audience. As I present, I will encourage questions as I go to clear up any confusion that may arise.
I will also show attendees how to log in and use the virtual reality tools. I will encourage them to create accounts on the spot and practice their newly learned skills while I guide them in the process.
The session will end with an additional question and answer opportunity and dispersal of my contact information to encourage attendees to reach out if they need any additional help as they implement the information from this session.
