Post 8: VR vs AR

The idea of virtual and augmented reality is very exciting to me. The idea of using the virtual reality in everyday life is exciting. I can not wait to see how think kind of technology evolves in my lifetime.

While this technology is very interesting and innovative, I do not think that I will use this when I am a teacher. This is so because when I envision using AR I imagine passing out a work sheet and each student having their own device to do this with. In the future I want to work somewhere in the innercity, where I can help those children. I do not think that it is possible to both work in the innercity and hope for all of my studentts to have access to iPads to be able to participate in this kind of instruction.

This is a sad fact that not all people will have access to this new technology, but it will have a positive impact on those that do have access to it.
