And that’s only one of the XR applications she offers educators.

Jaime, who is an author, speaker and EdTech consultant, shares all kinds of fantastic resources on her ARVRinEDU® blog. Just one of the highlights: her collection of AR/VR resources from the free Verizon Innovative Learning HQ portal!

And with December approaching, Jaime is once again offering her ARVRinEDU® Advent Calendar. The theme for 2022: “STEAM-Verse”.

If you’d like to receive these free resources, Jaime invites you to subscribe at ARVRinEDU.com for daily emails.
