Virtual and Augmented Reality in English Language Arts Education

Virtual reality is already transforming media, industry, and entertainment. This important collection charts the affordances of this technology in ELA classroom contexts, ultimately challenges students and teachers to grapple with questions of power, identity, representation, and experience.

In an era where we continue to question the role of technology for both remote and classroom-based learning, Clarice Moran and Mary Rice have created a collection in which ELA educators demonstrate how to span distances—both physical and pedagogical—with virtual and augmented reality tools. From historical sites to imagined futures, from national parks to enhanced scenes of our own communities, the authors in this collection remind us just how real AR/VR technologies can be for our students when integrated into instruction with passion and purpose.
