Defying Distance thru Student Collaboration in VR

Description:

The Seattle Public Schools, in partnership with Oculus Education will share the power of VR by taking it beyond consumption and into collaboration, creation and curriculum design. They will discuss a student-led VR course and cross-school collaboration where students teach, share and learn from each other in VR across zip codes, to co-create VR content to be used in the High School classroom; utilizing skills in storytelling, music, art, and coding to become proficient collaborators.
