Our Ridgefield Education Foundation grant - "Going Deep: Virtual Reality in the SRMS LLC!" - has allowed us to purchase VR viewers and to experiment with Nearpod licenses for ten SRMS teachers over the course of two years. Nearpod is a creator of VR content and much more! Nearpod allows teachers to create interactive, mobile presentations at a preferred pace. Cast classroom results or exemplars to your Smartboard. Upload content from Google Slides. Customize by adding websites, videos, quizzes, open-ended assessments and more.
We'll be communicating our exploration and experimentation on this website. See our Reflections page for information from year one.
Examples of Nearpod's VR lessons, including "Boston Tea Party" and "Types of Alternative Energy"
A very special thanks to the Ridgefield Education Foundation for their generous support!
