• Quick hands-on with the Columns of the Giants IVFE.

• Use observations made from the Columns of the Giants hands-on to derive & understand the purpose and value of NGSS-aligned VR & AR for all learners at all levels (K-College).

9:20

• Tools of the Trade: What equipment is needed to create high-resolution photospheres and 3D models?

9:30

• Use pre-made, place-based hi-resolution photospheres (hopefully of Mammoth Cave) to create a simple 2-stop IVFE using 3D Vista Software.

Working Bio Break

10:40

• Apply knowledge from beginning of the day to write one or two pedagogically-sound questions for the simple virtual tour. Q's will be collaboratively discussed and refined in small groups.
