MassCUE 2025

This week, I joined several educators from Tritown School Union attended MassCUE at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA.

MassCUE, the Massachusetts Computer Using Educators conference, is a premier event for educators, technology specialists, and leaders in K-12 education. It offers a dynamic platform for professional development, collaboration, and sharing best practices in educational technology. With hands-on workshops, innovative presentations, and the latest tools in edtech, attendees can explore strategies to enhance teaching and learning through technology. MassCUE 2024 provides an invaluable opportunity to network with like-minded professionals, discover new digital resources, and stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving landscape of education.

Virtual Reality in Artovation Class for 6th Graders

Our 6th grade students in Ms. Nasser's Artovation classes are using the WildXR app with VR headsets to explore wild animals up close, learning about their unique characteristics and the environments where they live. After completing their research, each student will bring their animal to life by building a model from cardboard and adding coding features to make it interactive. The final creations will be brought together in a hands-on “Petting Zoo” experience designed especially for our preschool students. This project combines science, technology, engineering, art, and empathy—allowing our older students to apply their learning in a creative way while inspiring curiosity in our youngest learners.
