Do you remember visiting a new culture or country for the first time? The architecture is new, the landscape is new, everything is new. This is the experience I want to give my students. We regularly learn about the majestic cultures, food and landscapes of Spanish speaking countries. Unfortunately, many of my students won't be able to experience it for themselves anytime soon. A Virtual Reality tour takes us a several steps closer than we currently are capable of to actually being in the countries we are learning about in class. I hope to motivate my students to become global citizens and world travelers by giving them the language skills they need and inspiring them with the beautiful sights to see via our Oculus sets.
