of you who were fortunate enough to hear Stephan Caspar speak at the
3RT Spring Seminar may recall that in his work directing the Kenner Room
at Carnegie
Mellon University, he explores the utilization of technology as a
gateway to language learning, cultural competency, and globalization.
Caspar will host a workshop to allow ESL instructors discover one
technological medium, virtual reality (VR), and its applications
in classroom. Specifically, instructors will be able to ‘discover VR’
by trying headsets and learning about different content formats.
Workshop activities will include appropriate student learning outcome
(SLO) generation, materials selection, and other
developing lesson plan activities. Using VR in contexts with limited
access to equipment and funds will be addressed.</span>
