[CASL-L] Questions about AR/VR uses, apps, and technology K-12

[Pam Begin]

We were gifted 30 pairs by  a program associated with Yale.  We are using
them for grades 6,7,8.  They are Oculus Go Headsets.  They are set up using
one Samsung phone with an Oculus App.  At this point in time, students are
viewing and interacting with content not creating it.  There are many apps
that are great for Social Studies/Geography and also amazing apps for
Science.  Visit  https://www.oculus.com/experiences/go/
You will also need charging stations for the glasses and for
rechargeable batteries.  The devices are easy to use.  All students love
them and the teachers have been very pleased.
