<p class="MsoNormal">We don’t have those headsets, but we do have headsets that are powered by android phones. We have a good number and the phones have no sim card and have a log in that the district provided. They are used with a router and a tablet for a
closed network. I use google expeditions with them and have been working on teaching the teachers. I want to get it to where they can checkout the kits.

<p class="MsoNormal">Students have headsets at their tables and they need to leave them open so I can see the phone is still in the headset when they line up to leave.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They are great in terms of variety of things we can do with them and they really help bring things alive. I love taking students on tours of cells or going to different places. I also appreciate there is no strap to worry about lice with.

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have any experience using and housing VR headsets? We are thinking of applying for a grant to get the following model. However, I wasn’t sure about their durability? How have you implemented them in the classroom?
