St. Helena Parish School District -

Day 1, Session 2: Exploring Beyond the Classroom! 🌎🛩️ Learning took flight as learners from Ms. Givens’ Talented Art class visited our MakerSpace for an exciting virtual field trip! Using VR headsets, learners traveled virtually to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., where they explored the fascinating history of flight, space exploration, and the pioneers who paved the way for modern knowledge. Through this immersive experience, learners were able to explore, discover, and connect classroom learning to the world around them, all without leaving our district! At St. Helena Parish School District, we’re using innovative technology to create engaging, hands-on learning experiences that inspire curiosity and expand possibilities for our learners. We are #sthelenawinning!

Exploring Our World with Augmented Reality! Today we kicked off our first Makerspace session with Ms. Stokes' third-grade learners. The learners engaged in an interactive learning experience using the Orboot Earth augmented-reality globe. They worked collaboratively to explore continents, geographic locations, climates, animals, landmarks, and cultural features of different regions of the world.
