Virtual reality

WHAT IS VIRTUAL REALITY?

Virtual reality is the term used to describe a three-dimensional, computer generated environment which can be explored and interacted with by a person. That person becomes part of this virtual world or is immersed within this environment and whilst there, is able to manipulate objects or perform a series of actions.

You will have to use a pair of goggles and an application which contains educational videos. The experience is immersing.

Here are some recommendable apps:

- Google Cardboard 

- Sites in VR

- War of Words

- youtube 360º Videos

- nytvr

- expediciones

Day 1

Feedback from the last course

It was really nice to meet students from last year!! What a class !!! another year,  they are still so energetic, willing to learn and share teaching experiences !! A real pleasure !!!

Some of us enjoyed using edpuzzle. One of us also mentioned having used bitly to shorten URLs. Various teachers mentioned 

padlet as a very motivating tool and quizlet (very successful to learn vocabulary). Some others also mentioned ororo.tv (very useful to watch films) and ISSUU which I tried to use several times but it didn't seem to work.
