Latest Tech Updates  

Thanks to a grant from MERIT, Millis students have been able to incorporate elements of virtual reality (VR) in their learning. Each building now has a VR kit comprising 30 headsets and equipment that creates a local area network on which teachers and students may “visit” virtually anywhere in the world. Not only that, the VR experience also include opportunities to create virtual tours and projects. Imagine, rather than creating a diorama in a shoebox, now students may create a virtual environment and take their classmates on a tour.

"The VR headsets are a wonderful supplement to the curriculum. They take visual learning to the next level by providing students with a more immersive, engaging experience than just 2D images and videos can offer. My classes thoroughly enjoyed the two trips we took: one to the real life settings of some of Shakespeare's plays, and the other through some of Long Island's mansions that were inspiration for The Great Gatsby."- Mr. Carter, English teacher
