MCEC Virtual CBI Webinar
We’ll show you how you can use virtual reality to bring all of these environments into your classroom for student instruction. In collaboration with Michigan CEC, MAASE, Great Lakes Reality Labs, Public Policy Associates, and educators from the field, we have developed a set of online learning modules to enhance student engagement, interaction, and skill acquisition in a virtual reality environment. Phase 1 of this work has produced 10 virtual modules that include topics such as putting away groceries, safely using an oven, safely crossing the street, and using self-checkout in the grocery store, among many others. Participants will learn about the development of the modules, the use of the supporting materials, and how to utilize this new resource with diverse learners within your classroom.
