Touring the the city of Rome, but virutally. Here's how we made a VR-integrated teaching material.

Hello once more!

Who knew trying to integrate AR/VR into teaching would be such a challenge? I mean, it's a wildly popular technology and is everywhere these days, but trying to utilize it in a manner that's efficient, practical, and conductive to learning was certainly harder than I had thought.

As last time, I worked with my Bilge, Nisa, and Yağmur on this assignment. Make sure you check out their blogs as well!

 

So, Rome. Hard to find a more famous city, right? With its dense history and culture, we were all excited to work with Rome. After we made it through the difficult process of narrowing Rome down to a handful of things we wanted to present, we landed on the architectural marvels that are the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain, the rich collection of Museo di Roma, and the simplest, most delicious dish that is "Cacio e Pepe".

You can find all about those in our material by clicking the link below. You can also follow the worksheet to take the tours yourselves, and even do the little exercise at the end.

Here is the material.

And here is our ASSURE Plan.

Thank you very, very much for taking the time to read this. See you on the next one!
