Now I'm interested in seeing how or if VR has been implemented in a Woodworking Class environment. I do not see funding being available in the near future for VR to be implemented in my course.

I've not VR with a headset yet. I'm more interested now.

I learned that I could create my own VR universe by using partnerships and available software.

VR could be used for the understanding of how equipment in my woodworking class works. It could also be used to instruct students on how things are put together in woodworking projects.

I can see many ways in which current and future technology can and will be used in student learning. I make my own instructional videos for my students. Now I feel a challenge to "chunk" those videos differently.

I have considered flipping my classroom for some of my instruction without being remote as I can see some benefits. 

It will be interesting to see if school districts with buy in to the financial burden of the advanced technology discussed in the lesson.

I am very glad that I was not a teacher during the Covid years. My use of technology has evolved since I became a teacher. If we suddenly went into a Covid-like situation again, I am pretty confident that I have a head start on readiness after reading the information in the course so far.

I did not know about the 988 hotline number. It was good to get an understanding of what to do if the appropriate staff is not available when a student shows signs of suicidality. 

I run a Ham Radio Club outside of my Woodworking class time. I never thought of it as an activity that may be helping a student avoid suicidality until today.
