We have another week of Covid-19 lockdown behind us. 🦠 Our family has been doing our work from home and home schooling. The school district started distance learning this week and I’ve generally been impressed with what they have done in such a short time. The kids are engaged and seem to like it fine. We’ve also supplemented with some other things. We signed up with REM5VR to rent an Oculus Go that they load with educational software. We all did the Apollo 11 experience as well as an Anne Franke thing. It was pretty eye opening to me how effective the VR space was for learning.
