techiecurrie Nov 14 @ 7:32 PM EST

Hi, I am Donna, an elementary ITF in Wilson. #wcstechchat

Here we go! Question 1 #wcstechchat

Let me try this again. Happy Tuesday! Michelle, ITF from Wilson, NC. #wcstechchat

A1 Virtual reality is more submersive, it requires equipment like headgear. Whereas augmented reality does not. Clear as mud? #wcstechchat

Glad to be here again. Deepak Sharma ITF Wilson NC #wcstechchat

MichelleEdwar25 Nov 14 @ 7:38 PM EST

Virtual reality takes us somewhere else, while augmented reality adds something to our reality. #wcstechchat

techiecurrie Nov 14 @ 7:39 PM EST

Augmented reality adds a computer image to your real environment and virtual reality put you in a computer-generated world #wcstechchat

Question 2 #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 7:41 PM EST

A1: AR enhances our reality. VR is more of a simulation. #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 7:42 PM EST

A2: Playing Pokemon Go. Definitely brought more attention to what AR is. #wcstechchat

techguybeneck Nov 14 @ 7:44 PM EST

A2: Playing certain games with Sphero are good examples of AR. Flight simulators used for training are great examples of VR. #wcstechchat

techiecurrie Nov 14 @ 7:45 PM EST

A2 AR is like Pokemon Go and VR would be Google Expeditions #wcstechchat

sharma3704 Nov 14 @ 7:47 PM EST

A2. VR is virtual field trips with viewing gear and AR is game like Pokémon go #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 7:48 PM EST

#AR #wcstechchat #PokemonGO

Question 3 #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 7:49 PM EST

A3: Google Expeditions would be a great start, especially if you are a Science/SS T. Work together with your ITF to create a plan to incorporate VR/AR into your classroom #wcstechchat

techguybeneck Nov 14 @ 7:49 PM EST

A3 Just like the others mentioned, a great place to start is with Google Expeditions. Taking Ss to places they would never get to go on a school trip is an adventure for everybody! #wcstechchat

techguybeneck Nov 14 @ 7:51 PM EST

#wcstechchat

techiecurrie Nov 14 @ 7:52 PM EST

A3 Using the AR app Aurasma to make objects come to life. #wcstechchat

#wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 7:55 PM EST

A4: I am a fan of Google Expeditions for VR. I recently learned about @MetaverseApp at #NCDLCN for AR. It's awesome! I am looking to use this with my Ts this year. #wcstechchat

techiecurrie Nov 14 @ 7:56 PM EST

A4 Aurasma and Quiver are 2 very easy ones to get started with. #wcstechchat

techguybeneck Nov 14 @ 7:57 PM EST

A4 Some really good resources listed here, some I have tried some I have not. I'd really like to try the Apollo 11 app! #wcstechchat

wilsontechfac Nov 14 @ 7:57 PM EST

A4: This was my first experience with VR in the classroom. Good place to start. https://t.co/Mp3nwQkCIO #wcstechchat

A4 Guess I should post the link! https://t.co/BYfriovvXb #wcstechchat #oops

sharma3704 Nov 14 @ 7:59 PM EST

A3. Art teachers can start off with AR apps like quiver and sci/Sst teachers can do virtual field trips with google cardboards #wcstechchat

wilsontechfac Nov 14 @ 7:59 PM EST

Question 5 #wcstechchat

techguybeneck Nov 14 @ 8:01 PM EST

A5 In high school English classes Ts can use Google Expeditions to visit the homes and birthplaces of famous writers like Charles Dickens and Edgar Allen Poe! #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 8:02 PM EST

A5: Math teachers can quiz students and encourage cooperative learning by using AR with @MetaverseApp. Science and SS Ts can take virtual field trips to other counties, under the sea, outer space and more using Google Expeditions. #wcstechchat

techiecurrie Nov 14 @ 8:04 PM EST

A5 Students can record a book summary and when the book is scanned the other students can see and hear what the book is about in @aurasma #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 8:04 PM EST

A5: HS teachers and college professors can also enhance learning by using tools like Anatomy 4D to learn about the parts of the body. #AR #wcstechchat

sharma3704 Nov 14 @ 8:04 PM EST

A5. Google street view app in conjunction with google cardboard can be used in sst/sci classroom discovery VR app can also be a great resource #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 8:06 PM EST

A5: Our 8th grade science teacher uses Elements 4D during her Chemistry unit. You can hover an iPad over the paper cubes to see how these elements look like. You can also put two cubes (elements) together to see what the combined product is. #wcstechchat

wilsontechfac Nov 14 @ 8:07 PM EST

Question 6 #wcstechchat

techguybeneck Nov 14 @ 8:08 PM EST

A6 Rather than just visualizing their learning AR and VR allows Ss to experience and interact with the curriculum. #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 8:08 PM EST

A6: Giving students opportunities and different experiences to grow and learn. Some students will never have the chance to travel out of the country or see what a college looks like. VR brings all of this to the classroom #wcstechchat

MichelleEdwar25 Nov 14 @ 8:09 PM EST

Increased student engagement, improved motivation and enhanced learning. #wcstechchat

techiecurrie Nov 14 @ 8:10 PM EST

A6 Students are given a chance to go to places they may not otherwise have a chance to experience #wcstechchat

wilsontechfac Nov 14 @ 8:12 PM EST

Question 7 #wcstechchat

techguybeneck Nov 14 @ 8:13 PM EST

A7 Last year at NCTIES I was able to try out some very nifty VR equipment. I got to go to a shipwreck as well as play a game. It was incredible. #wcstechchat #ncties

techiecurrie Nov 14 @ 8:15 PM EST

A7 I was also able to experiment with AR and VR at NCTIES and I was able to play with a robot dog and go under the sea #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 8:16 PM EST

A7: At #NCDLCN, we used the @MetaverseApp and our presenters created a scavenger hunt. We had to solve puzzles and find keys to unlock the final treasure chest. Everything was created using AR and this app and it was really engaging and fun. #wcstechchat

sharma3704 Nov 14 @ 8:17 PM EST

A6. Cost effective way to visit places #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 8:18 PM EST

A7: You can even import your own bitmoji avatar to be the character guiding in whatever you create on @MetaverseApp. Pretty cool! #wcstechchat

wilsontechfac Nov 14 @ 8:19 PM EST

Disney World has some great VR/AR Pandora Ride #animalkingdom #disneyworld #wcstechchat

wilsontechfac Nov 14 @ 8:20 PM EST

Question 8 #wcstechchat

techguybeneck Nov 14 @ 8:21 PM EST

A8 AR/VR can open up many new possibilities for Ts and Ss because of the vast number of new experiences it affords everyone. #wcstechchat

TheTechNerdette Nov 14 @ 8:22 PM EST

A8: Giving students learning experiences they will never forget. Also allows teachers to grow and step out of the box when planning engaging activities for their students and implementing tech meaningfully. #wcstechchat

sharma3704 Nov 14 @ 8:23 PM EST

A7. Showing Ss and Ts their favorite place they always wanted to visit. @WCS_TechDept summer camps. #priceless #wcstechchat
