I went to the tech sandbox and received a lesson on potential VR use in the classroom. Then I got to use both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Using the Oculus Rift, I was shown a program called Tilt Brush that allows you to draw in 3D, as well as drawing with materials such as snow or lava. Then, I was moved to the HTC Vive where I was shown the program Universe Sandbox. This program allows you to see the universe and manipulate it by adding mass, altering orbits, and colliding objects. The final program I looked at was Edmersiv, a virtual museum with interactive exhibits on math, science, history, geography, and more. All of these can be easily utilized in an educational environment. Tilt Brush can be used in math to demonstrate 3D images and 3D graphing. Universe Sandbox has obvious applications to science classes. Finally, Edmersiv is particularly interesting for elementary students as it has basic knowledge in all of the areas.

Great job! I'm glad you got to go back and work with VR.
