Here are a few quick things to help you get started with Metaverse shared with me by
Luis Chavez:
● Here's an overview of the Metaverse app​.
● Here are some Tutorials ​to help you learn the basics of building “experiences”.
● If you are a teacher, please ​sign up​ for teacher specific announcements.
● Join the Metaverse Pioneers group on Facebook ​to share your creations, ask
questions, provide feedback, and collaborate on projects.

● Join the Metaverse Community Forum ​to ask and answer questions, engage in
discussion, and learn about various Metaverse features.
Before trying Metaverse “experiences” with my students, I did the following:
● Explained to my students the overview and importance of using the platform.
● Checked the updated version of iOS or ​A​ndroid gadgets for compatibility.
Metaverse iOS only works on iPhone 6s and above and latest model of iPad
with iOS 11.​ ​Here is the list of compatibility​.
● Checked the tech skills of my students and make sure they ​were ​well-oriented
with the functionalities of their gadgets and the platform.
● Did a dry run of the “experience” in my mobile phone and iPad before trying it out
with my students. I did this many times and made some changes along the way
in Metaverse S​tudio and some polishing before I made QR codes for a final
“experience”.
● Let students download the application on their mobile phones or iPads.
● Asked for feedback after utilizing the app. The majority of my students said they
enjoyed it a lot and wanted for more while others would like to know how to
create their own AR “experiences”.
