@olivia_teaches @pjbishop93 I first learned of the project in 2008 and wasn’t involved in the research group, but they presented regularly. Looks like its a past project :( but they have some new projects on introducing code in preschool and elementary school https://t.co/vXbzOeXWQE #EDU6323

@olivia_teaches @pjbishop93 In my previous grad program in child development, our DevTech research group designed a virtual world where children with chronic conditions who needed long-term hospital care could explore and develop their identity. It was called Zora: https://t.co/vqr8PhzOEH #EDU6323

@pjbishop93 @JacquelynBertm1 @TheresaLacey10 @DAllen_94 @CafarelliNicole I would want to view Paul Revere's perspective when he was riding his horse down the Minuteman Trail, which is close to where I grew up. Would also be nice to view what composers went through before they became famous, as many became well known posthumously. #EDU6323

@DAllen_94 @kristinburgh @TheresaLacey10 @JacquelynBertm1 @pjbishop93 @CafarelliNicole Not quite VR, but the Faroe Islands started virtual tours due to COVID. Where someone straps a camera on their head and you basically control their movements with a nintendo-like control on your computer screen. https://t.co/CFOP30pI44 #EDU6323

@DAllen_94 @AdamELID @SocialMediaCou3 @olivia_teaches Here's the official email language: Starting in Fall 2020, you will have the opportunity to choose electives from all programs across the College of Professional Studies – it’s called the “open electives” option. #EDU6323

@DAllen_94 @kristinburgh @TheresaLacey10 @JacquelynBertm1 @pjbishop93 @CafarelliNicole It's like the 4th dimension for the internet. Makes me think of the "chat rooms" in Ready Player One and the "black market" in Ralph Breaks the Internet. #EDU6323

[Dom Tech @DomTech11]

@TheresaLacey10 @pjbishop93 @JacquelynBertm1 @DAllen_94 @CafarelliNicole Yup! Ready Player Two will be released Nov 24 - and pre-ordering is already available! Only hardcover version though. For some reason, I prefer paperback. @kristinburgh #EDU6323

@DAllen_94 @JacquelynBertm1 @pjbishop93 @TheresaLacey10 @CafarelliNicole Yes - without the formative assessment or reflective piece, technology may be added for technology's sake. No matter the tech, learning experiences should be thoughtfully chosen and tightly aligned to learning objectives. #EDU6323

@DAllen_94 @JacquelynBertm1 @pjbishop93 @TheresaLacey10 @CafarelliNicole Seriously!

[Dom Tech @DomTech11]

@DAllen_94 @JacquelynBertm1 @pjbishop93 @TheresaLacey10 @CafarelliNicole I know! Now all I want to do is read allll the books. It's also a good opportunity to support small businesses for those who still like enjoy reading from a hard copy. #EDU6323

@JacquelynBertm1 @pjbishop93 @TheresaLacey10 @DAllen_94 @CafarelliNicole My friend is a 3rd grade teacher who always leads a freedom trail field trip. You are making me think of ways her students could benefit from AR on that tour, though I wonder how the field trip would change due to COVID. #EDU6323

[Dom Tech @DomTech11]

@JacquelynBertm1 @pjbishop93 @TheresaLacey10 @DAllen_94 @CafarelliNicole Solid plan! #EDU6323

[Dom Tech @DomTech11]

@pjbishop93 @JacquelynBertm1 @TheresaLacey10 @DAllen_94 @CafarelliNicole In Ready Player One, there is a combo of VR and AR. VR is the virtual world they're immersed in, but the AR provides opportunities for communication and annotation over what is seen through VR. I think AR could be very useful for educational purposes. #EDU6323

[Dom Tech @DomTech11]

@pjbishop93 @JacquelynBertm1 @TheresaLacey10 @DAllen_94 @CafarelliNicole Resurfacing this thread, as I recently read Ready Player One which I feel has a new meaning during the time of COVID. Even without VR, being in perpetual lockdown makes all my webconferences feel like a 2-D VR as I have not physically seen my colleagues for half a year. #EDU6323

[Dom Tech @DomTech11]

@JacquelynBertm1 I see ways AR can scaffold learning without separating the learner too far from reality. For instance, teachers can answer questions over text on the viewer's "screen" while they are in the middle of a lesson. #EDU6323

@FrankieCapps I'm actually involved in building micro credentials our schools develop. We use Acclaim (https://t.co/OQO0tLc7Ww) which has acquired Credly, and learners can immediately link to LinkedIn profiles, etc. #EDU6323

@heidihope13 Imagine if our weekly videos were immersive experiences? Or if our screencasts were VR experiences to every place people visited for vacation? As Lam said, an image speaks a thousand words, and VR speaks a thousand images. #EDU6323

[Dom Tech @DomTech11]

@heidihope13 So sad! I hadn't been following but do always enjoy and support the MFA. I'm sure switching over to VR must take a huge internal effort and adoption. #EDU6323

@JacquelynBertm1 Haven't read that one! Thanks for the rec! YA SciFi is a solid genre. #EDU6323
