New times. Expanded worlds. Emerging possibilities. In Using Virtual Reality in English Language Arts Education, authors from multiple institutions across the United States and abroad share practical insights for teaching English language arts with virtual and augmented realities. These chapters draw on multiple theories and ideas to share perspectives from practicing and prospective teachers, as well as young learners themselves, about how to use applications and tools to transform teaching and learning. Collectively, this book advances innovation for using virtual and augmented realities as educational, inclusive spaces for teaching English language arts and literacy subject matter while supporting learners in developing the mindset for creativity, innovation, and even emotional empathy.

Virtual reality is already transforming media, industry, and entertainment. This important collection charts the affordances of this technology in ELA classroom contexts, ultimately challenges students and teachers to grapple with questions of power, identity, representation, and experience. -- Darren Covitz, Kennesaw State University, co-author Inside Out: Strategies for Teaching Writing and Grammar to Get Things Done In an era where we continue to question the role of technology for both remote and classroom-based learning, Clarice Moran and Mary Rice have created a collection in which ELA educators demonstrate how to span distances-both physical and pedagogical-with virtual and augmented reality tools. From historical sites to imagined futures, from national parks to enhanced scenes of our own communities, the authors in this collection remind us just how real AR/VR technologies can be for our students when integrated into instruction with passion and purpose. -- Dr. Troy Hicks, Central Michigan UniversityMore details
