    Hi Iā€™m Brian, Iā€™ve been using Go and bringing it into my classroom since the day it came out. I have a handful for kids to use now and working on more #ARVRinEDU
  • StacyTippens Jan 16 @ 9:04 PM EST
    Hello Stacy from Virginia here. We are a 9-12 school using HTC Vive for experimental learning, assessments, and community building. Just starting to figure out how we want to use OculusGo #ARVRinEDU

  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:06 PM EST
    Very cool! What are your thought on the Go so far? #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @StacyTippens
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:07 PM EST
    A1 I firmly believe in the importance of giving kids the opportunity to experience and find meaningful uses for emerging technologies. It has also allowed them to experience immersive lessons previously unknown and we are just scratching the surface #ARVRinEDU
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:08 PM EST
    Iā€™m excited to be awake and not recording anything. We have several projects in the works Iā€™m trying to put together, also looking into using it for VR presentations and class connections #ARVRinEDU

    Having stand alone devices like the OculusGo makes itā€™s super streamlined and I love seeing more and more experiences added. #ARVRinEDU
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:10 PM EST
    NICE!!! How many are you or did you get? #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @DavidJLockett
  • Rdene915 Jan 16 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1 Love being able to explore so many things, learn from students, although I worry about content #oculusgo #arvrinedu
    In reply to @JaimeDonally
  • BrooksDougherty Jan 16 @ 9:10 PM EST
    #ARVRinEDU I'd be interested in cost and what it takes to get the Go in the classroom. Could this be a barrier, or "reason to not have" ? @TabaldoOnTech
  • LindaEdwardsi Jan 16 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1 I havenā€™t used Oculus Go but for many of the apps I use I can go without it #ARVRinEdu
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:10 PM EST

    Weā€™re off and running with Oculus Go. Next week HTC Vive, and more. #ARVRinedu
    In reply to @JaimeDonally
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:12 PM EST
    There are tons of opportunities. As I acquire more devices over time I can use them for more things in class. Last weekend we helped kids experience the isolation of living in space via mission ISS for our First LEGO competition #ARVRinedu

    A1b Iā€™m sure Oculus provides a great experience though šŸ˜€ no money in the budget this year #ARVRinEdu
  • RickLapi Jan 16 @ 9:12 PM EST
    Anyone have a good comparison of the Go and the Lenovo Mirage Solo? #ARVRinEDU
  • Rdene915 Jan 16 @ 9:13 PM EST
    I just need for my #oculusgo both @oculus to stop shutting off and heating up so much :( #arvrinedu
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:13 PM EST
    About lack of content? Quality? Or the number of ā€œotherā€ things available #ARVRinedu
    In reply to @Rdene915, @JaimeDonally
  • StacyTippens Jan 16 @ 9:13 PM EST
    I like it, but I want to see more. In general we need more 9-12 humanities content. Itā€™s not as immersive as the vive but more so than cardboard and doesnā€™t require a stand alone machine. #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @JaimeDonally
  • DavidJLockett Jan 16 @ 9:13 PM EST
    Please share as Iā€™m new to the Lenovo Mirage Solo. #ARVRinEDU

    If the world yet to come as well. Someone in their generation will take these technologies and and use it to change the world. If they never see it, it might never happen, or maybe it could have been them! #ARVRinEDU

  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:15 PM EST
    Q3 The Wonderful You app is super intense. Watch this baby form from conception to birth. AMAZING! How would your students respond to this experience? #ARVRinEDU https://t.co/sGiMnEJYKP
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:15 PM EST
    Yeah I havenā€™t had the same issue as you. Did you ever contact them? #ARVRinedu

  • iamvlewis Jan 16 @ 9:15 PM EST
    Tardy to the Party but I'm here to learn #ARVRinEDU
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:16 PM EST
    It's quite affordable. The cost is $199 for 32 GB or $249 for the 64 GB device. It's connected by WiFi so it doesn't require cords or computers to use. #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @BrooksDougherty, @TabaldoOnTech
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:16 PM EST
    Yes I know there are times my kids like to play the ā€œscaryā€ scene games. They are all set up to dummy emails and I have access to each Go from my phone. As I get more though Iā€™ll need a more efficient way to monitor them #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @Rdene915, @JaimeDonally
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:16 PM EST
    Yea, it's VALERIE!!! Now the #ARVRinEDU party can start :D
    In reply to @iamvlewis
  • RickLapi Jan 16 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A3: What a great way to start a lesson with Notice and Wonder. The wonderings the students would have could drive so much conversation . #ARVRinEDU
  • DenisecWright Jan 16 @ 9:17 PM EST
    #ARVRinEDU @JaimeDonally Hi Jaime how many headsets have you seen being used at once any type management strategies with students?
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:17 PM EST
    Are you all charging it while you view? That does seem to heat it up quickly. #ARVRinEDU @oculus is it dangerous for the #OculusGo to heat up like that with students?
    In reply to @btcostello05, @Rdene915, @oculus, @oculus
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:17 PM EST
    Iā€™m looking for things like this as I try to build a VR ā€œMakerspaceā€ or MakeVRspace #ARVRinedu
    In reply to @DavidJLockett, @LindaEdwardsi
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:18 PM EST
    I've not seen more than 4 at a time, but it does seem to function well. I suppose it all boils down to the district network. #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @DenisecWright
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:18 PM EST
    Eyes? You set it up through a phone, but it runs independently of other devices. #arvrinedu
    In reply to @KatieJMcNamara
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:19 PM EST
    I havenā€™t found the need for 64gb as of yet. Anyone else? #arvrinedu
    In reply to @JaimeDonally, @BrooksDougherty, @TabaldoOnTech
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:19 PM EST
    Definitely think we can capture their attention with these experiences. When I bring the #OculusGo to #ARVRinEDU trainings, it's in use constantly (until it dies).
    In reply to @RickLapi
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:20 PM EST
    Q4 Now letā€™s see what you think of the app we all know and love, @CoSpaces_EDU. Did you know you can view completed work in the Oculus Go? Do you think it would be beneficial for it to be available on the #OculusGo and why? #ARVRinEDU https://t.co/jx7Z7Ledvk
  • StacyTippens Jan 16 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2 I can see this being used to enhance lesson in literature depending on the content. Gatsby comes to mind immediately #ARVRinEDU
    • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:10 PM EST
      Q2 I really like the Looking Glass app for the Oculus Go. You can travel back in time to a room in a specific time era and explore the music, writings and more. How can these experiences support our learners? https://t.co/DOBzhu4QZ6
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:20 PM EST
    I have 4. They are set up under dummy emails on my school domain. Those all send back to me and my phone. I know @AmandaFoxSTEM had more and had some systems for managing them #ARVRinedu
    In reply to @DenisecWright, @JaimeDonally, @AmandaFoxSTEM
  • Rdene915 Jan 16 @ 9:21 PM EST

    In reply to @btcostello05, @oculus
  • DenisecWright Jan 16 @ 9:21 PM EST
    #ARVRinEDU is there a full list of apps @JaimeDonally I saw your top 10 in your @EdSurge article this helps with grant writing and justification.
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:21 PM EST
    I've downloaded quite a bit content and I've not run into needing more space yet, but now I'm using the photo and video capture, so it's filling up quicker. #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @btcostello05, @BrooksDougherty, @TabaldoOnTech
  • DavidJLockett Jan 16 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A4. From a developers standpoint, creation and design are essential for critique. #ARVRinEDU
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:22 PM EST
    I am trying to get enough devices to take our students on a tour of Anne Frankā€™s house during their Holocost studies. #arvrinedu
    • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:10 PM EST

  • RickLapi Jan 16 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A4, students being able to experience there creation in VR allows them to go through the iteration process. Build, test, build, text, etc. Soooo valuable #arvrinedu
  • Rdene915 Jan 16 @ 9:22 PM EST
    caI cannot leave you hanging ;) cannot wait to see you and LOVED your webinar yesterday! #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @JaimeDonally
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:22 PM EST
    That's a great idea. There are some really wonderful history apps for the #OculusGo. #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @StacyTippens
  • KatieJMcNamara Jan 16 @ 9:23 PM EST
    Cool. So no sensors. #arvrinedu

  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:24 PM EST
    It seems like more and more districts are moving towards these stand-alone devices (thank goodness), and you never know what's ahead. #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @LindaEdwardsi
  • LindaEdwardsi Jan 16 @ 9:24 PM EST
    A2 This would be excellent for students to really experience life in specific times of history #ARVRinEDU
    • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:10 PM EST
      Q2 I really like the Looking Glass app for the Oculus Go. You can travel back in time to a room in a specific time era and explore the music, writings and more. How can these experiences support our learners? https://t.co/DOBzhu4QZ6
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:25 PM EST
    Q5 No doubt, Apollo 11 was my favorite app on the #OculusGo! While I did pay $4.99 to download it, it was worth every penny. How could this type of experience affect history instruction? #ARVRinEDU https://t.co/wZARNXaUoM
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:25 PM EST
    Itā€™s 3DOF so you canā€™t walk around, but the device is independent. The Oculus Quest coming this spring will be 6DOF and fully independent #arvrinedu
    In reply to @KatieJMcNamara
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:26 PM EST
    Definitely more feasible than the Vive in a classroom considering space, quantity, chords. I do agree that more content is needed, but it's really starting to roll in. #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @StacyTippens
  • LindaEdwardsi Jan 16 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A3 Wow, this would be amazing for health lessons or teaching medical students #ARVRinEDU
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:27 PM EST
    Iā€™ve got plenty of phone operated headsets, but there is an incredible app tour of Anne Frankā€™s house with descriptions of everything you interact with taken from her diary #arvrinedu

  • murphree_kim Jan 16 @ 9:27 PM EST
    Full disclosure #ARVRinEDU chats are really awesome and showcase such cool šŸ˜Žtools I sometimes forget to chat because I am hastily downloading and playing. šŸ¤Ŗ#thanks Jaime #somanyideas
  • LindaEdwardsi Jan 16 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A4 I donā€™t know because I havenā€™t experienced Oculus but Iā€™m guessing it would be a fully immersive experience #ARVRinEDU
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:27 PM EST
    There are some interactions that allow students to create. I like the problem solving in the Pet Lab because you can create many types of monsters and it starts to get really complex. #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @KatieJMcNamara
  • DenisecWright Jan 16 @ 9:28 PM EST
    Celebrating the 50th amiversary of walking on the moon pretty awesome to have that app and have others experience at #ARVRinEDU
    In reply to @JaimeDonally
  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:28 PM EST
    3 Degrees of Freedom vs 6. With a Vive or Rift you can walk through the VR experience and your perspective changes. Walk with a Go on and you just crash into things in the real world šŸ˜‚ #ARVRinEdu

  • btcostello05 Jan 16 @ 9:30 PM EST
    Again, the Anne Frank house tour is free and awesome, loved Star Chart which I paid for too. It gives your students a whole different perspective on what places are like. Instead of seeing them on a screen they are taken there in immersive experiences #ARVRinedu
  • JaimeDonally - Moderator Jan 16 @ 9:31 PM EST
    I don't think I could keep the #ARVRinEDU chat going as long as it has unless it was exciting each week. If only we had unlimited budgets LOL
