program empowers teachers to be at the forefront
with next generation learning opportunities.
No cost to accepted participants!
July and August 2022
4 Day Part-Time Program
Course Delivered Live Online
XR Foundations for Educators is designed to lay a foundation for XR (including Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality) and help teachers gain confidence in the fundamentals of the latest immersive technologies.
XR and the Metaverse are cutting-edge learning tools to engage students and enhance instruction. Educators will become part of a supportive learning community that will propel their learning, foster excitement, and inspire them to apply their new skills in classrooms.
This 4-day program, with no coding background required, helps teachers to experience building a simple XR experience with the support of a live instructor and mentors. The program also lays the foundation for the teachers interested in more advanced study of experience design and gameplay interaction.
This professional development opportunity is offered at no cost in partnership with the Verizon Foundation.
Educators will learn about all aspects of XR, the Metaverse, and the emerging ecosystem.
Educators will explore the current uses for XR in the classroom and how it can be tailored for different content areas.
Educators will work with industry leading tools and come away with an exciting set of skills that utilizes the abilities of the Unity Engine.

This program is designed for high school educators and administrators interested in learning about virtual and augmented reality and their value as learning tools. We’d also like to extend this opportunity to school counselors and students currently working towards a post-secondary degree in education.
