Ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once stated, "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."
Or, today, we could begin with a single AR/VR tool.
If you haven't yet ventured into using augmented and virtual reality tools, imagine the excitement of bringing literary events to life or exploring underwater caves with your class! Or, using AR to allow new students to explore your school or practice using a combination lock. All of this and much more is available using anything from phones to Chromebooks to projected screens. And, almost as cool as the tools, many are totally FREE!
Here is a quick list of fantastic free tools you can use right away:
Immersive VR Education

So, what will you tell everyone when they ask, "Where did you go this summer?"
How will your journey begin? Where will you go?
