2. Welcome to our fire.
Did anyone bring the marshmallows?

3. How can you use virtual reality with
your audience?
 Tracy would like to
develop a virtual child
care center. Teachers-
in-training could come
to visit the center and
complete
observations, see a
high quality
environment, or
develop their own
learning centers.
 Lydia is exploring new
ideas that would
relate to her work as a
corporate trainer.

4. Challenges
 The cost of setting up an environment and
keeping it relevant and rich.
 It takes time!
 Changing technology – how long can we do this
before a new and better idea makes it irrelevant?
 The learning curve. Is it worth the extra effort? Is
a virtual environment better than simply drawing it
out on a large piece of paper?

5. Benefits of virtual environments
 Exciting and new – fun!
 For an audience of teachers it allows us to
observe children without issues of confidentiality
 Allows participants to visit anytime. No need to
worry about fitting it into a busy life.

6. We left you a Halloween pumpkin.
If you find it you can keep it!
