Our classrooms are no longer confined to four walls. With virtual and augmented reality you can bring learning to life in a way never possible before. Take a field trip around the world, visit a backyard beehive, and have your lessons jump off the page! This session will help you get started with Google Expeditions, Thinglink 360, Discovery VR, 3D Design, Merge Cube and much more as you can make low and now cost virtual and augmented reality experiences and lessons for students of all ages!
In this session you will find out how to use simple and free iPad apps to enhance creativity, deepen literacy and showcase student learning. We will take learning off the page and amplify student voice with video, green screen, stop motion, photography, graphic design, coding and more. These apps not only supercharge your classroom, but are a powerful assistive technology and support for your ELL students. You will leave with your teacher tool box filled with ideas ready to use the next day!
Did you know that makerspaces are more than just cardboard, catapults, and robots?

Join us to see how the curriculum is brought to life with hands on projects that take learning off the page.
