My students are amazing, probably the best students in the world, and if not... they sure work the hardest. Unfortunately they do not have the financial resources that others have to take many field trips or school sponsored east coast trips that many 8th graders around the country get to do. By getting iPod Touches and VR Goggles in the classroom, I will be able to show them historical sights like Old Town Boston, Independence Hall, and Gettysburg Battlefield. My students will be able to visualize the places they read about in order to make connections to history and actively engage in learning. Take for example Independence hall: During the debate for whether to declare independence, our founders were gathered up in a relatively small room in the middle of a Pennsylvania humid summer. By using virtual reality, they will be able to get a sense of what it was like to actually be there, sitting at a table, arguing for or against independence. Adding this element into the lesson will help them engage and process on an entirely new level they haven't experienced before. I recently chaperoned another school's 8th grade field trip and realized after getting to know those students that our populations could not be more different. So by having VR Goggles and an iPod Touch, it will help bridge the financial gap in education.
