Helping kindergarten students recognize their emotions with the help of virtual reality! #WhyWT
Mr. @sauslander read a book to his Kinders about an e-Motion Robot, Peter O’Meter. Kindergarteners colored a robot sheet and then, using augmented reality, chose an emotion button for Peter and watched him “come to life,” in the same colors as their page.  #WeareAV🐊
