However, the product is accessible on all devices including laptops and desktops. Using Exploration Mode, each Kai XR field trip becomes a virtual experiential learning activity where kids discover something new each time they explore. A global catalogue of virtual trips which students explore topics a STEM, Animals, or History. Through experiential  learning students have the opportunity to ask questions, development critical thinking, build awareness of diversity and engage with technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BIO<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a history teacher, Kai Frazier noticed how her students grasped information digitally; however, technology was lacking. She began documenting monuments and historical sites using her first 360\u00b0 camera to fulfill the digital divide and enhance students&#8217; learning. In the YouTube video she gives further background as to how KAI XR was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Inspired the Creation of Kai XR?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4kGDSY9Edm4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Reflection:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am a big supporter of technology that bridges the digital divide gap. Furthermore, it recognizes inclusiveness and accessibility in education as well. Through her teaching experience, Kai Frazier saw a need for learning and took action hence KAI XR. She has also partnered with T-Mobile to provide WiFi where possible for students who do not have access. KAI XR recognizes the inequity in educational technology and is trying to fill the gap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description: Kai XR ( founded 2018) is an\u00a0interactive adventure where kids move their devices such as tablets, or smartphones, or VR headsets to discover 360\u02da&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/2022\/02\/06\/kai-xr-kai-frazier-founder-and-ceo\/\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Kai Frazier-Founder and CEO of Kai XR<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":85667,"featured_media":3825,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-founders-parade","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/85667"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3824"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3824\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3830,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3824\/revisions\/3830"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
