Immersive Technology (360/AR/VR)

Yes, this is for you! Any teacher can implement immersive learning technologies to increase student engagement, make content more relevant, and personalize learning. After this session, teachers will be able to distinguish between 360-video, Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR), and have resources and knowledge to integrate immersive technology in the classroom.

For the best experience, please bring a smartphone loaded with these apps from the App Store or Play Store (recommended but not required): Expeditions by Google, Galactic Explorer for Merge Cube, and a QR code reader (such as i-nigma for iPhone or QR Droid for Android).
