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.
I love finding great immersive resources, especially when they’re free and easily accessible through WebXR (no download required). Verizon offers free immersive resources for educators and students, including some WebXR experiences. One of the latest resources includes an interactive learning journey on STEM topics. Check out my summary of the lab experiences below.
The WebXR experience explores oceanography, microbiology, and chemistry through interactions that challenge students to tackle a disaster. Below are descriptions of these activities.
Oceanography: Navigate the Currents
Learn about ocean currents and their impact on ecosystems. You’ll become a marine scientist, using interactive simulations to develop strategies to contain an oil spill. Every choice you make matters, providing an educational and fun game.
Microbiology: The Power of Microorganisms
Explore the microscopic world of microbes through an electron microscope. You’ll see how these tiny heroes can help break down oil and restore ecosystems. Engage in fun activities that show how microbiology plays a crucial role in solving challenges, highlighting the potential of nature’s smallest creatures.
Chemistry: Building Solutions
Study chemical elements, construct items from the periodic table, and visualize atomic structures. Use your knowledge to create solutions for removing toxins. As you piece together elements and compounds, you’ll understand how chemistry applies to real-world problems and the importance of innovation.
