Expanding Preservice Teaching Experiences through Virtual Mixed Reality Simulation

• In Event: DELT- Learning Environments and Informal Learning (h)

Short Description

Virtual mixed reality simulations can situate preservice teachers in a classroom setting so that they can engage with diverse learners and work on their development of common instructional practices. This session will share highlights of a research study on the application of virtual simulation experiences in a large, urban preservice teacher education program in the south-central US and involve the audience in a demonstration of the simulation experience.
