Welcome to the VFT Educator Guides!

Everything You Need to Know to Support Student VFT Creation

Before you begin teaching your students how to make their own VFTs, review (or refresh on) the background pedagogical and technology guidance in Guides 1-6.

If you’re ready to level up your VFT game, consider:

Capturing your own 360° media (Guide 7). If you want your students to collect their own media (360° or otherwise) as a part of their project, make sure to build in extra time in your project calendar.
Crafting your own VFT assignment (Guide 8).

Then, when the time is right in your scope and sequence, teach the VFT Creation Lessons!
