Session Abstract
Technology can be a powerful medium for scaffolding conversations for English Learners. In this workshop, we will explore the potential of Nearpod’s Virtual Reality (VR) feature to promote academic language and self-advocacy and cross-cultural skills. Keeping WIDA standards in mind, participants will experience several VR lessons and discuss their findings.
