Enhancing Instruction with VR/AR

July 14, 2022, at 11:00 am ET

Join NYSCATE Corporate Council member Bluum at 11 am ET on Thursday, July 14 for this engaging hour-long webinar on how to enhance instruction with virtual and augmented reality.

As technology evolves in the classroom, so do student learning outcomes. Interactivity and engagement are key factors in instruction that move students from passive learners to engaged learners and even creators! With virtual and augmented reality, students of every background are given the opportunity to experience lessons like never before. In this session, you will get an introduction to the world of integrating VR/AR into your programming and instruction including factors to consider when making this purchase, as well as funding opportunities.

Join Gina Keenan, Collaborative Learning & STEM Category Manager with Bluum, as we learn why we should include VR/AR in the classroom, and the factors to consider when purchasing VR/AR solutions including software, hardware, space, and cost.  We will also discuss the grant and education service opportunities through Bluum that you can use to furnish VR/AR in your school!

Audience: Tech Directors, Teachers, Principals, Grant writers, instructional coaches
