I want to help spread the excitement about experiential learning and virtual worlds. I have to work on the Hypergrid Resources Center and plan for presenting at some upcoming conferences. I'm thinking of Online Learning Consortium's conference in Orlando in November 2019!

Bots made me think of Star Tours. Droids are not slaves!

Mark Milliron (CLO of civitas) said last week at a conference that any educator who hasn’t experienced AR/Vr is basically guilty of educational malpractice … the idea struck me then, and this conference has reinforced it!

Keep Playing! Never stop being open to all possibilities

Keeping up with the "young-uns"--says a 30 year old! When did the technology between generations start moving so fast! I blink and I'm out of touch O.O

Tony Stark makes AR sexy for the masses!

Always keep experimenting new tools! You never know when the tools you are using right now will be gone in an instant.

Incorporating H5P and chatbots and other tech mentioned during the conference for interactive learning

I like Val's point about collaborating to organize our tools so that we don't have to feel like we have to explore every single option (which isn't possible).

# data[].attributes.body
Bang those rocks together, man!

# data[].attributes.body
What about the potential for communities in VR/AR? As opposed to individual/isolated game play

# data[].attributes.body
Surrender your need to be the expert in the tool.  Rather, let the students take that ownership.  Be the expert in the craft of teaching.

Be open to teachable moments. As an educator, you should learn as much from your students as they learn from you <3

Balancing the physical and virtual world

Accessibility!!!! How to overcome/accommodate disabilities so that all can participate. Many are born differently abled. And as we age, we are all susceptible-- we live in a world of hearing, seeing, speaking, moving, and mental impairments of varying severity. How can we better include each other in our virtual and physical endeavors?

# data[].attributes.body
Go beyond with the tools we have been given or even create them!

We may not know the answer, but we can help you find it. -every librarian ever <3
