Students Virtually Explore
Christy Banks' sixth grade science students (EMS) recently enjoyed 'virtual field trips' to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, along with a quick trip around the sun. Due in part to the 2018 Mill Levy Override, teachers in Elizabeth Schools now have access to several virtual reality kits (students wear special goggles and are virtually transported to a different location). Students observed dinosaur fossils on display at the museum, as well as interacted with a MERGE cube to explore the sun and solar system. A MERGE cube combines augmented reality and natural touch to enhance the student's learning. Check out the class in action on our Facebook page.
