Virtualization – extending my classroom
When students begin learning about new technology, there is an assumption that they already possess certain foundational skills: file management, the ability to download resources, Internet skills. While mostly true – this cannot be assumed and I often test to see if they do. Giving them assignments and introductory activities to confirm. However, one skill…

Inexpensive VR for Education

The book itself is divided into two parts: the first half for employees, and the second for employers. Each discusses…
