For our exhibition, I think it would be a good idea to have a comic con vibe. Or just an open space where all of our VR's can be displayed along with the description and ads to go with it. Last year we did this cool step by step representation. I liked how the steps were clear and very visual, and it made it easier for the audience to understand it. VR can be a tough thing to explain, especially because it was a difficult process for most of us. I think VR is a new technological advancement so most of our parents and guests will be impressed by how advanced this project was by us. This could inspire others to create their own creations based on what message they want to get out to the world.I think by telling others the advantages and positive impact VR has on parts of the world can be eye opening. But at the same time letting people know the disadvantages and what reality really is.
In humanities class we got a deeper idea of what Dewey's views were on education. We really got to understand where project based learning began and how it is a better alternative than traditional school learning. We can see engaged learning first hand if we look around our school. Even in the VR project, we are put in a similar situation. We work for others and we earn "money". Instead of strictly learning about VR's and jobs, we get to experience it. We don't just hear that education and learning is important, we learn why it's important. I think tests and grades are all part of this system, where we do things to get good grades. If we have to fake it till we make it, we do. We become so attached to this idea of grades that we forget the true concept of education. Although grades can be distracting, they are necessary to show how we've learned and they push us to try harder to achieve a better grade. Even in the real world, money is something we all get too focused on rather than passion and advancement. Yet we need money to trade.
