My Project

The tablets I am requesting will make an impact on student learning because it adds another dimension to devices we study and configure in our Cybersecurity courses. I have two virtual reality headsets which students will use the tablets to configure adding another level of portability in order to recreate learning scenarios. Students will further learn about configuring these android-based tablets and the network/security background necessary. Troubleshooting the functionality of these devices will offer real world experience and provide a marketable skill in the job market for students bringing expertise with a variety of devices to the table.

My goals for this project are to allow students a monitored level of freedom to study, evaluate, and configure devices without impacting our school's network or using resources from our technology staff.

Any wrong step in the setup process and the tablet may easily be 'wiped', by me, and handed back to the student to start again. Students will learn more about pairing and Bluetooth technology and establishing boundaries for how this technology works. I want students to use critical thinking skills to set up the application which virtually tethers to the VR headset and test to see if they had success or not. The next step will then be for them to use the correctly configured tablet application to control the VR headset whether for themselves or to work in pairs or groups so they may offer control and overseeing for other students. My students are special because they chose my 'pathway'-Cybersecurity. They have a hunger and interest in learning about technology which may add to information they already know or better yet establish a technological impact they have not yet experienced. They want to use our learning environment and classroom experiences to further their knowledge in this area of study.
