ARVRinEDU® Founder Jaime Donally has created an Advent calendar–with new and user-friendly applications for augmented and virtual reality!

And that’s only one of the XR applications she offers educators.

Jaime, who is an author, speaker and EdTech consultant, shares all kinds of fantastic resources on her ARVRinEDU® blog. Just one of the highlights: her collection of AR/VR resources from the free Verizon Innovative Learning HQ portal!

And with December approaching, Jaime is once again offering her ARVRinEDU® Advent Calendar. The theme for 2022: “STEAM-Verse”.

If you’d like to receive these free resources, Jaime invites you to subscribe at ARVRinEDU.com for daily emails.
