Immersive content is powerful, but experience alone does not make learning stick. Designing a lesson in three stages — before, during and after the experience — turns what students feel into what they understand.
Before: plant a question
Ask one question students will answer through the experience, such as “What does the inside of a volcano look like?” They will then explore the virtual space with a purpose.
During: observe and record
Keep the experience short, but give clear things to observe. Pairing students — one experiences, one records — also works well.
After: put it into words
When the experience ends, return to the first question and have students share what they discovered. A bodily experience becomes a concept when it is put into words.
Start small, then expand
You do not need to change every unit at once. Start with the one unit where the impact is likely to be greatest, then expand based on how students and teachers respond.
