My Students

My students come in every day raring and ready to go! Our day always begins with several hugs and exciting news that they have to share with me. The greatest gift in the world is to be surrounded by children who love you despite your flaws, can't wait to see you every day, and think you hung the moon!

Most of my students come from high-poverty homes, and many don't have Internet access at home.

It is not uncommon for students to go to second grade on a first-grade level. Because of this, it seems that we are playing catchup for most of the year.

Luckily, I teach in a great school where teachers share resources and do whatever it takes to help students achieve success. Although many of my students face various challenges, including broken homes, being raised by grandparents, and living in poverty, they are motivated learners.

My Project

Using an Oculus Quest I have sat with the President and toured the White House. I have ridden in a boat in the Moken village and have seen their village on the sea. I have listened to the story of the last survivor pulled from the Twin Towers after their collapse and viewed New York before and after 9/11. Oculus Quest aside, as a teacher and adult, I have been able to explore the world that many people from Ozark, Arkansas, have not the opportunity to do. By giving these materials to my class, you will help my students to understand that there is a much larger world to learn about.

Imagine, as a second grade student, being able to take a virtual field trip to a place like the Statue of Liberty without having to physically be in New York.

Imagine experiencing the thrill of space or the depths of the ocean. Part of the second grade curriculum is learning about economics and habitats/earth sciences. An Oculus has the potential to put a student in the middle of any given habitat. They will not only learn about these places, but see these places in a personal way not previously experienced in our classroom. American symbols? There are economic games that make it fun and exciting. The virtual setting gives a more robust experience about why we hold our national landmarks in such high esteem. Even math...imagine drawing shapes and angles in front of you, where you can walk around them and view them from different perspectives. The possibilities are ENDLESS!

The new generation of Oculus Quests are cordless, have great virtual quality, and are reasonably priced. If learning is an adventure, the Oculus Quests can help make it one t
