Session Description
Fairy tales provide an enriching and entertaining learning opportunity for people of all ages. Our team has created a virtual world to provide individuals with a creative possibility space to learn more about the fairy-tale genre, while also drawing from key terms from literature studies, English, and Language Arts. Through the use of the virtual reality application, Open Simulator, in this initial launch of the “Land of Fairy Tales,” visitors are able to walk through and learn about components of a specific fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood (LRRH). Learners can walk through one of two paths (versions) of LRRH, one created for younger audiences (elementary and middle school) and the other created for older students (high school and college). The design of this world utilizes Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, along with the use of various instructional tools and assessments, to peak visitors’ curiosity, to get users immersed in the world, and have learners walk away with newfound knowledge at the end. Join us for our presentation of this unique virtual world and come away with a new and exciting way of immersing students in a new learning experience.

Aloha Everyone! My name is Kawika Gonzales. I am a part of the LTEC online master’s cohort since Fall 2019. I am also a 6th-grade teacher on the island of Molokai and have been teaching for the past 19 years. Besides the core general education classes, I also teach robotics, computer-aided design, and computer science. More recently, I have incorporated more virtual and augmented reality into my classroom. I am the math and grade level chair for our school and a part of the leadership team. My wife and I have 3 young boys, one in 1st grade and the other 2 in preschool. I enjoy taking them fishing and hunting.
Aloha! My name is Kalei Carvalho. I am currently in my first year of the LTEC Master’s program and anticipate graduating in May 2021. I originally started this program with only the hope of advancing in my career in the future. However, I am beyond grateful that I took this opportunity because it has been very beneficial in my current line of work. I currently work as a Student Support for the Wai’ale’ale Program, which is one of the first-year experience programs at Kaua’i Community College. I have lived on Kaua’i my entire life and use any opportunity I have to help strengthen our community. The biggest motivations in my life, however, are my husband and my children.
Judy Kakazu received her BA in Zoology after switching her major no less than 7 times. As a result she knows very little about a lot of things. Judy then decided that she would take a break from academia and learn something fun. As a result, Judy has been a paramedic with the 911 system on Oahu for 30 years. Intermittently returning to the academia that she vowed never to return to, Judy has been fortunate to study subjects such as Human Physiology at the graduate level. After a recent work injury, Judy was given the opportunity to explore Learning Design and Technology at UH Manoa. As a first year student in the online Master’s program and under the mentorship of all within this excellent department, Judy is truly grateful and hopes to continue the privilege of learning, forever. Some of her interests include the gamification of learning, endocrinology and thinking outside of the box…
