“We are excited to take part in this Merge Case Study to highlight all of the exciting things our teachers and students are doing in regards to augmented and virtual reality,” said Dr. Fernandez, Superintendent of Jersey City Public Schools.

Because leadership at JCPS already understood the positive impact curriculum-aligned AR experiences can have on student learning, it was launched as a district program, not just a one-classroom experiment. “We wanted something with a track record that has some proof points,” said Nancy Masoud, District Mathematics Supervisor. “And utilizing the Merge Cube with the Merge EDU program was our best choice.”

JCPS agrees that Merge EDU is cost-effective for the district, easy to implement for teachers, and is incredibly engaging for the students, leading to positive learning outcomes.
