My Students

Our students are a diverse group of learners. As diversity can be a challenge, it is the goal of the school to provide our students with differentiated instruction and a wide range of curriculum activities that will engage all of our students in a variety of curriculum areas that will hold their interest.

Our school has been on the cutting edge of various new and upcoming educational endeavors, and engineering would be another great presence in our school.

We pride ourselves in creating an environment that is top-notch and on the cutting edge of the needs of our community and the career fields of the whole nation.

This project will enhance all of the aspects of my curriculum. Those students who are otherwise not interested in traditional learning will be intrigued to be a part of a whole new way of learning science, mathematics, English, art and many other creative areas of learning.

My Project

We realize that we are only scratching the surface of what is possible with Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in our classrooms with the Oculus Go Standalone Virtual Reality Headset - 32GB system. What we have seen has shown us that there is so much more power and potential that we can bring into our classrooms and this will positively impact both the teachers and the students.

There are many offerings that will promise and meet those needs, one of the things that has impressed us with the Oculus Go Standalone Virtual Reality Headset - 32GB system is the many lessons that can be learned through this technology.

Not only its direct impact on courses such as science and social studies, but the potential for how it can be used in other aspects of our students’ coursework.

Here are some examples of VR ‘field trips’ students can take:

Visiting and exploring national parks

Exploring historical locations and monuments

Discovering remote regions such as Antarctica or Sub Saharan Africa

Trips through the body and space in science.

VR (Virtual Reality) is the up and coming way to help students be a part of the world right in the classroom. With the stand alone VR Headsets our students do not have to use their own devices or the teacher’s phones to make these devices work and the content is not limited to what the device has already been programmed to provide the students.
