My Project

The students in my class are brilliant thinkers who have not found success in a traditional classroom setting. Life has created numerous hurdles for them to overcome and I would like to be able to create lessons that go beyond textbooks and worksheets.

My students will benefit from the many academic and social emotional learning opportunities that a virtual reality headset can provide.

From virtual field trips to career exploration, mindfulness to incentivizing engagement, virtual reality has so many possibilities. Please consider supporting the students in my classroom. VR will be a game changer for them!
