INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE : Boulder Roll 

Running Time: Self-paced 

Learners stand atop a virtual hill in the VictoryVR Valley as ogres charge up toward them.  By rolling boulders down the hill, the ogres are pushed back, allowing students to earn more time to make it to the finish. Rolling boulders is easy, but getting enough of them to conquer the ogre. Students must correctly respond to rapid-fire questions based on the unit.
