VR Social Club Facilitator’s Handbook & Step-by-Step Setup Guide

This Professional Learning (PL) strategy equips educators to facilitate a student-led VR Social Club elective, where students design and implement interactive VR learning experiences. Facilitators are guided using the VR Social Club Facilitator’s Handbook & Step-by-Step Setup Guide to:

Support students safely and effectively
Coach and guide rather than directly instruct
Implement collaborative, project-based VR learning
Foster social engagement and digital skills

This PL ensures facilitators are confident in guiding student-led VR design and implementation cycles while aligning with rigorous instructional outcomes.

Weekly Breakdown – VR Social Club PL (20–30 min focus per week)

Flexible, Self-Paced Learning for Homeschool Educators
This VR Social Club Professional Learning program is designed specifically for homeschool educators and parent-teachers, many of whom are balancing full-time work while providing rigorous and engaging learning experiences for their students. Understanding that time is limited, the program is self-paced and encourages a trial-and-error approach, allowing facilitators to explore, experiment, and adapt as they learn.

The weekly breakdown I’ve provided is designed to guide learning efficiently. Each week’s activities can be adjusted or combined to fit individual schedules, helping educators implement VR experiences without extended time commitments. While the program can be learned quickly using the suggested timeline, VR technology is constantly evolving, and this is intended as an ongoing learning experience. I plan to provide updated content and support as new tools and strategies emerge, ensuring educators can continue offering dynamic, student-led VR learning.
