Welcome to the #ARVRinEDU Advent Calendar! Whether you're an educator, a tech enthusiast, or simply curious about the future of learning, there's something here for you. The #ARVRinEDU Advent Calendar is your go-to resource for staying ahead in the ever-evolving edtech world.
Discovery Education is dedicated to improving student learning through its innovative, immersive experiences. Immersive learning goes beyond content engagement; it promotes active thinking, enabling students to become fully immersed in activities, situations, or subject areas. When students are actively engaged, their ability to retain and apply information in real-world contexts significantly increases.
Discovery Education creates exciting learning experiences by using knowledge about how people learn. They simulate real-life situations and provide interactive environments, allowing students to explore ideas through hands-on activities. This approach helps make tough concepts easier to grasp and allows students to connect more effectively with the material.
Discovery Education provides a variety of resources to make learning more engaging in the classroom:
Augmented Reality Tools: These tools let students create new worlds and develop solutions, giving them control over their learning.
Narrative-Driven Adventures: Apps like TimePod Adventures use storytelling to help students understand concepts better and connect different subjects.
Game-Based Learning: Learning through games makes education fun and memorable, helping students connect emotionally and enjoy the experience.
Virtual Field Trips: Students can explore how this transformative technology is reshaping sectors such as education, entertainment, and healthcare by understanding the nuances of Virtual Reality.
Professional Development and Resources: These initiatives ensure that teachers have the knowledge and skills to use immersive techniques and digital products effectively.
