I thought these two videos were interesting for the same reason. The idea of being able to actually use a virtual world to access a student's understanding for a class would really be a great way to not just test whether a student could repeat back what they have learned, but to also see whether they can use it effectively in a more situational test is pretty cool. The second video really highlights the reasons for new testing and educational use of technology. Many students are falling behind in science and technology. Opportunities to engage students in new ways and test students using innovative methods may help more students (who very likely may be very used to these types of technology in their every day lives) learn in new ways is definitely worth further research.
This video really stood out to me as well. While many schools across the world are trying to figure out the best method of Immersive Education or even just a better relationship between a traditional classroom and technology, I think it is very important for consideration of accessibility. It would be really unfortunate for a school to provide great new opportunities for teachers and students and then have there be new obstacles for those who would want to participate, but could not use the technology as it exists. Having screen readers or other plug in features is a great step!
