Will there need to b training of other faculty? How will students be introduced and learn the technology? What is the information technology department's role? If you are tech savvy and don't need their support, maybe consider letting them know in case students come to the Help Desk. Consider an instructional designer to guide through the pedagogical aspect and if doing department wide peer-to-peer pedagogical support. What additional items might be useful from your supervisor/administration?]]> 2023-04-04 02:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/aer13psu/txgrtdzspu2ncerx/wish/2543047476 Introduction aer13psu https://padlet.com/aer13psu/txgrtdzspu2ncerx/wish/2543049035 Introduce the value added to students and the "why?" vs. more traditional technologies in this space of Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Hangouts.

During the lesson follow the checklist with some examples including:

Prior to experience – Ensure directions are clear for each student. If using VR devices, have them set-up for students.
During the experience – Provide context of the interface give audio and text chat guidance of students, give ideas of additional controlled guidance – where they can look, etc.
After the experience - Hold student accountable (quiz, reflection activity, some generic include “what are five new facts they learned through the experience?” or the See, Think, Wonder reflection activity covered during the presentation part of this session.
