Weekly Blog Post # 7 Classroom Projects and VR

Last Tuesday, we had a great experience: a Zoom Conferencing from Flin Flon Manitoba. The instructor Daniel Dillon explained and shared professional and personal experiences about his teaching around the world. His conference gave me the opportunity to understand that students can acquire and develop their own ideas using and applying technology in their projects.

In my opinion the project of 20 Time is a great opportunity for students to inquiry, create, invent, develop, and implement projects to resolve problems or generate benefits for the community. This kind of projects  make students to research, acquire  and apply knowledge with vision toward the real world.




I agree with the project of Genius Hour in the classroom, because when students work in what they like, they are more likely to enjoy school and acquire knowledge. The Genius Hour project seeks to encourage students to examine their own creativity using tools such as Google. This kind of projects promote student’s own learning in the classroom leaving behind the traditional learning. Teachers motivate students to acquire authenticity during the project. I consider that use this project in the classroom will bring true advantages for the students.






I believe VR technology has lots of information that we ignore, because we do not have the professional equipment. Using VR technology in the schools will help to improve inclusion and it is a good tool for the future of teaching.
