My Students

My students are gifted and talented students. They love learning and exploring new ideas. They have really enjoyed doing hands-on activities that are STEAM related. Those activities come at a cost and I want my students to continue to be makers and critical thinkers through the use of real-life situations.

My Project

The Oculus VR set will place students in situations they have never been. They can explore the world through google world, learn anatomy from the app human anatomy, using google tilt to express their emotions through art, exploring forensic science, and virtual field trips. The list goes on with the possibilities that can give students real-life learning through virtual reality. Being a gifted teacher is a difficult task and I want to provide my students with the best experience that will further their education and will to learn more. Help my students to become explorers through the use of virtual reality.
