Spending time in the classroom with students is my favorite part of being an educator. And this spring, I was fortunate to be invited to Joel P. Jensen Middle School in West Jordan, Utah. Media Specialist Belinda Gambrino and Teacher Dustin Plott invited us to share a lesson using Google Expeditions with a group of kids who meet after school to learn more about Innovation and Design in their MakerSpace STEM Program. Take a look at the video above to see how well VR and other Mixed Reality Tools engage learners in new ways.
