Our Digital Leaders had a fantastic time testing and trying out new tech to use in school at Openzone at The Word today.

We started off by using iPads to experiment using the free virtual reality apps Google Spotlight, Quiver and Magic Tats where characters and pictures came to life.

Next we had the opportunity to try out the latest virtual reality headsets, whisking us away to Ancient Egypt, Mars, the rain forest, deep in the ocean and a deserted castle. The children worked in groups to discuss how they could use this technology in school and came up with some fantastic ideas.

We’re hoping to loan the headsets from the Openzone before we break up for the summer because our Digital Leaders think the rest of the children will love them too!
