Hello there!
After the New Year celebration, the Movavi Academic team is back with a new educational digest. So, here we go!
๐Is the Metaverse the future?
Florida-based Optima Classical Academy has decided to create the worldโs first virtual school, which will open its doors in the Spring of 2022. Thanks to Oculus headsets, students can attend metaverse classrooms and take part in virtual group activities ๐https://bit.ly/3ucOUxz
๐ทSwitch back to remote learning or not? Thatโs the question
Many school districts are willing to bring kids back to schools, but local control sometimes prevents them from taking action on this. In some districts, schools must comply with certain conditions in order to provide remote learning to students ๐ https://bit.ly/3G2xjut
๐ฅ Computer programming is ahead of the curve
South Korea's main opposition presidential candidate Yoon Suk-yeol makes the case that computer programming should take priority over even mathematics in schools. In this opinion, coding will help to provide the job market with essential human resources and grow the ranks of professionals fluent in the new technologies ๐https://bit.ly/3KJqPnE
๐An app for those with romantic tendencies has gone viral
The Marriage Pact app started as a Stanford University project and is now used in more than 65 elite schools across the United States to help combat the isolating effects of COVID. Marriage Pact claims to be, unlike any other apps, the only one that will help students build meaningful relationships, mainly thanks to the questionnaire they must fill out before searching for a mate ๐https://bit.ly/3KR2EUn
Equipping its students with Oculus headsets, the Optima Classical Academy in Florida is just one of the schools betting on virtual reality to power the classrooms of the future.
