Event Description
Come to Scarfe Foyer at lunchtime on April 15th to see this month’s Technology in Transit showcase, which features Google’s Cardboard virtual reality technology!
Google Cardboard is an affordable application from Google. Its headset can be assembled at home from an Android phone and ordinary material, but it shows the world in an extraordinary way. Cardboard allows the user to explore pictures and videos in an immersive setup. It offers enormous possibilities to teachers and educators, from visiting faraway locations, to experiencing demonstrations or simulations, to creating their own . It can even be used to view your own photos from Photosphere!
Raising technology awareness is an important part of what we do. On the second Wednesday of every month, Educational Technology Support (ETS) hosts Technology in Transit. Technology in Transit is a space for Teacher Candidates and graduate students to demonstrate different teaching and learning technologies that they have been actively using. The one-hour session offers passers-by the opportunity to engage with educational technology as they walk through Scarfe Foyer during their lunch break.
Presenters
Our Technology in Transit presenters this month are ETS’s Learning Technology Rovers.
