"Now that we have the I.D.E.A. Studio  (Imagination Destination at Episcopal Academy), a new space at my school for interdisciplinary work, I have been excited to collaborate with teachers to imagine new student projects. Our first grade social studies work is centered around an exploration of places, starting with students' bedrooms and expanding out all the way to the Earth. This exploration begins by reading students the book Me on the Map. From there, students begin following a similar examination of places and maps that the girl in the book explores. Over the past few years, I have developed a variety of projects that integrate technology into this work in meaningful ways, such as the intersections between mapping, coding, and the distance between home and school. This year, I wanted to see if we could bring more hands-on making into the curriculum. I began to design a new unit (check out this Google Doc to see it) that would bring together students' expertise and knowledge of current spaces they frequent (e.g., their bedrooms, the classroom, or the lunchroom) and allow them to consider the design elements involved in creating one of those spaces together as a class. This type of project would integrate ISTE standards, Next Generation Science Standards, reading and writing standards, and connect directly to students' expanding exploration of places from Me on the Map."

The definition of virtual reality technology comes from both the words 'virtual' and 'reality'. The definition of virtual is 'near' and the definition of reality is whatever we experience as human beings. So basically the term means 'near-reality'. Our sense and perception systems help us see the world as it is and everything we know about reality comes by way of our senses. In other words, you could say that simply a combination of sensory information makes up our entire experience of reality. You can change your perception of reality by presenting made-up information to your senses. By doing so you will create a version of reality that isn't there but from your perspective it is and this concept is called 'virtual reality'.
