Learn VR with us in November

Library staff enjoying the Carnival lesson!

CMLE has VR kits to loan FOR FREE to our school library members!

Come to our training event in St. Cloud on Tuesday, Nov. 5th and learn how to use the ClassVR headsets available to reserve for use at your school!

And, we are so excited to announce an additional training session at the Cambridge Library meeting room from 9:30am – 3pm on Friday, Nov. 8th!

RSVP for training at the bottom of this post.

We’ll have a morning and afternoon training session with lunch in between so both sessions can eat. Please feel free to attend both sessions in order to get comfortable using the headsets and Portal.

The plan is to cover fundamentals in the morning and more advanced VR skills in the afternoon, but please feel free to drop in or leave as your schedule allows! Remember to bring your own computer (and headphones if interested).

St. Cloud training will be held at our location: 570 1st St. SE St. Cloud MN 56304. We are inside the cmERDC building and have a large classroom to use.

The first session will run 9am – noon and the second from 1pm-3pm. CMLE will provide lunch from 12-1pm. (And if you’re here in the morning and have a book you’re reading that you’d like to tell us about, we will happily record a quick Book Bites podcast episode with you!)

At this training session, you will learn how to operate the devices, find lessons that line up with your curriculum, send the VR/AR content to the devices, and use the headsets effectively in your library, media center, or classroom.

The ClassVR vendor will be holding a free Q&A webinar on Nov. 13th. We will put the link to this webinar on our page in case anyone is interested in participating.

Visit our page to find out more information about the VR kit loan program, including instructions and links to additional materials.

And if you apply ahead of time, you can definitely pick up your VR headset kit at this training event! You’ll get to keep the kit (each kit has 8 headsets) until schools close for winter break.

Apply here! to reserve VR kits for your school.
