My students need this Virtual Reality equipment to enhance technology in our classroom. Obtain new skills and experiences using this system, open their minds to a whole new world.
I have some amazing students who would like to have the opportunity to use technology to help them see the world and understand global issues. These students attend a rural union high school and have discovered the endless opportunities that virtual reality can add to their classroom experiences. Many of my students qualify for free lunch, indicative of the poverty level in this area. Despite this, they have gained national and state recognition for their performance on a number of successful school indicators. Giving these students the opportunity to explore the world through virtual reality will give them a world experience that most would not be able to achieve through travels and family experiences.
My Project
The requested Oculus Rift and a gaming desktop will enhance student learning. The Oculus Rift and desktop will increase project-based learning and increase student-driven design and programming languages.
It will allow for more collaboration and direct learning from Science, Social Studies, etc.
from
Creation of "real life" simulation.
The Tilt Brush/Google Earth/Oculus Medium/Quill-Apps will enhance student learning and provide enhanced lessons and assessments.
"One advantage of Virtual Reality is that you can teach about the real world and experience way beyond our current location."
It is a powerful tool and a new way to experience 3D creation. Students may have more direct attention in class, may not be bored with same old lessons, and they will be excited about new ways of learning.
