Final Compilation Post: Immersive Learning Pods—Transforming K-12 EducationIntroduction

In today’s rapidly evolving digital age, the integration of immersive technologies into K-12 education represents a transformative shift in how students engage with learning. My initiative, Immersive Learning Pods (ILPs), leverages Virtual Reality (VR) to create dynamic, student-centered environments where learners can actively construct knowledge through modeling, experimentation, and collaboration. This ePortfolio post showcases my journey in developing and implementing ILPs, highlighting how cognitive and social processes align with cutting-edge technology to enhance educational outcomes.
This post includes my Final Publication Draft alongside supporting assignments, such as my Why Statement, Influencer Strategy, and 4DX Plan, demonstrating how each component contributes to the broader vision of embracing immersive learning in education. These elements come together to create a cohesive and actionable strategy for implementing ILPs in K-12 classrooms.
