23、 On a cold day in early November 2015 I went outside to get our New York Times from the driveway and noticed a large cardboard box tied to the familiar blue bag. In the cardboard box was a pair of Google cardboard goggles (护目镜) for watching VR videos. Upon reading the introductions, I downloaded (下载) the VR app and set up the Google cardboard goggles.
That Sunday, the app showed three pieces about the imaginary war damage. I remember very well standing in my kitchen with my wife and three children as we each took turns trying on the goggles and watching the short VR video of an airdrop (空投) of food. I couldn’t help shaking while I looked around and saw people running to collect rice bags being dropped at my feet, which was so clear and seemed real.
It was a moment I will not forget, for in that moment I knew the future, my children’s future, would look greatly different from what I had at that age. It must have been like the excitement my grandparents had when TV changed to color.
More importantly, I realized what effect these devices (设备) would have on my teaching. That Monday I brought my pair of goggles in and a few pairs I borrowed from my neighbors to share the experience with my students. The purpose of the first lesson was pretty simple: to share this cool new experience with my students. The students were amazed and couldn’t wait to use the goggles. And that was what I had expected
