Teaching With Immersive Technologies is a guide for K-12 educators integrating virtual and augmented reality tools into everyday instruction. AR and VR hold great potential to captivate learners amid growing disengagement and a widening equity gap, but where do novice teachers and students begin? Full of accessible and evidence-supported strategies, this book showcases how teachers can move beyond the novelty of VR and AR and leverage these immersive tools to drive student engagement, deepen content understanding, and promote equity in lesson delivery. Each chapter inspires and empowers teachers with step-by-step planning, flexible lesson ideas, and ready-to-use classroom scenarios that incorporate different forms of immersive technologies while meeting schoolwide learning objectives. Neither a technology background nor expensive VR equipment is required!
