     What is virtual reality? Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment with scenes and objects that appear to be real, making the user feel they are immersed in their surroundings. This environment is perceived through a device known as a Virtual Reality headset or helmet. To allow this feeling of presence, a VR headset is used, such as the ones available for borrow at OISE Library. Other notable examples of VR headsets include Oculus Rift, Smsung Gear VR, HTC Vive, Google Daydream View, or Google Cardboard.  These headsets remove vision of the real world and provide video to each eye allowing for depth of vision. This technology is then supported by head and body tracking to connect the virtual world to what the user is seeing. While the term virtual reality may be used to describe different types of immersive experiences or altered reality experiences, it is not the same as augmented reality. Virtual Reality uses VR headsets or closed head-mounted displays (HMDS) to c

 With many areas of Web 2.0, the new tools and approaches are only a development of the true potential of the web platform. This gives us a key insight into how to design educational uses for these services. Web 2.0 presents a lots of chance in terms of educational aspects. Web 2.0 provides  best practices: student engagement and interaction in learning, and student ownership and management of learning. There are lots of apps, websites and etc. thanks to Web 2.0.

Edpuzzle  is an online tool that allows teachers to pull in personal and web-based videos, like YouTube, to be cropped and used with other content. This can mean adding in voiceovers, audio commentaries, extra resources, or even embedded assessment questions. Unlike a traditional video editor, this is more about getting clips into a format that allows teachers to engage directly with students on a subject. It also has the capacity to offer assessments based on the content and offers lots of controls that allow for the use of video even in more strict school scenarios. The result is a modern platform that's engaging for students but is also very easy to use for teachers. It's even crammed full of curriculum-specific content to further help in teacher progress with students. Edpuzzle allows teachers to share their work so
