I experienced something completely different for me–Virtual Reality. We had the opportunity as a class to head over the the Digital Scholarship Commons and try out the VR headset there. I watched as my peers explored google earth through virtual reality, and I myself went for a rollercoaster ride! While the experience left me slightly nauseas, it was a worthwhile experience. I think there is a lot of really cool stuff happening with virtual reality right now, and I have friends who have virtual reality headsets for gaming purposes. It is a very unique time in technological development, but like many things that are up and coming, virtual reality is expensive. If I am lucky enough to work at a school that has a VR headset, I look forward to the opportunity to find a way to incorporate it into my lessons.
