Students live and breath new technology often unknown to educators. At the same time, teachers have more exciting and useful technology for teaching available than ever before. Are you considering VR in the classroom? What tools would be effective?
With this meetup, we're taking a close look at at the intersections of Education, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and other innovative technology and seeing what tools may work best for educators. It is also a space to voice your opinions to the tech community.
The meetup will address the following questions:
• Where does innovative tech such as VR and 360 content fit into the classroom?
• What are current shortcomings of VR and 360 content for the classroom?
• What are current problems that could be solved with these technologies?
Azine Davoudzadeh (https://www.linkedin.com/in/azine-davoudzadeh-88a07a32/), Video Production Educator/Filmmaker, San Ramon Valley Unified School District, will run participants through a mock lesson plan picking 1 of 4 four subjects: Math, Science, History, English Language Arts (ELA). What teaching styles work best with students? Why use certain tools in certain subjects but not others? The outcome will offer insight for educators and administrators into real world practical uses and limitations of innovative technologies.
