| Abstract: |
The 2020 Educause Horizon Report identifies extended reality (XR) as a key emerging technology. Among other technologies, XR includes augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). The Report defines XR as "a comprehensive term for the environments that either blend the physical with the virtual or provide fully immersive virtual experiences." There is tremendous potential for utilizing these tools as low cost and freely accessible portals through which students can actively engage with interesting and difficult topics in social studies classrooms. It is important to consider how we can treat virtual reality as a source alongside other historical sources to be unpacked and "read" with a disciplinary eye in order to make evidence-based claims to answer guiding questions within an inquiry arc.
