I conducted a lesson using virtual reality (VR) with my students the week of Halloween. Everyone had a wonderful time! Many of my students learned to use the goggles independently while working on their communication skills in a novel activity. Although this lesson was a success, I will not be using VR on a regular basis because I generally work on more targeted individualized English Language Arts, fine motor, and technology skills. My paper about using virtual reality with my students with significant disabilities, Gaming 2 Interactivity and Engagement Lab, describes some of my process and explorations. I am very excited to be adding virtual reality content to my teaching tool bag.
