                          Metaverse Storyboard


                          The Metaverse app provides a storyboard, scenes, and blocks for educators to use to
                          create experiences for their classroom (Figure 6.2). The website consists of several
                          support videos to create content and provide a meaningful lessons for the students.
                          The experience is shared by location, search, or shared by the educator with a per-
                          malink. The Metaverse app can be a basic lesson or made quite complex depending
                          on the teacher’s skills and needs for the lesson.

                          Some ways teachers can adapt Metaverse into their lessons are by:
                            • providing a personalized 360° virtual tour comporised of images and video;

                            • having students capture specific items in the scavenger hunt; or
                            • including assessment questions within the scavenger hunt.

                          The Metaverse app is a new concept for educators as it provides a way to create your
                          own immersive technology experiences beyond the basics, but it has a significant
                          learning curve when you first begin. As the application develops into an easier plat-
                          form to create AR and VR experiences, I believe more of our classrooms will use it as
                          an alternative to what is currently available in immersive technology apps.
