In this project, Paige Meszaros worked with her students to begin investigating virtual reality field trips to get a “close-up” and different view in her World History Course. “In T3, the World War II course will extend this project to include blogging about their experiences researching and narrating historical tours in three areas- the Pacific theater, the European theater, and the North African theater.”
Initially students explored a variety of sites and provided feedback on their experience. Video and images are included her. Student feedback was exceedingly positive and the students look forward to designing their own field trips in T3. We did find alot of variability in the quality of the VR among different apps and students had favorites.
