My Students

My students are in a self-contained Autism Spectrum Disorders class. They work very hard each day to achieve their goals. They are very interested in technology and I use it frequently as a learning tool. They are very interested in science and I am allowing them to explore more scientific topics with technology. The more they are interested, the more they will learn. I want to encourage them as much as possible with as many tools as possible to create the intrinsic desire for education!

My Project

My students learn best through hands-on experiences and interactions.

Unfortunately, field trips have become cost prohibitive due to budget cuts.

If we had the VR headsets by Oculus that are a contained virtual reality experience, we could enjoy virtual field trips and hands-on science and technology experiences within our classrooms!

The students are extremely interested in technology also, so I feel that they would be motivated to engage in the experiences.

The students in the self-contained autism classroom need to have these experiences to expand their knowledge base of science, history, and math.

I want them to say "we are VR!"
