Oculus Rift in the high school classroom

Folks,

Anyone using Oculus Rift in the classroom?

I am teacher who is using Oculus Rift in a high school classroom. I have art students using blender working with programming students who are using the Unity Game engine. We (students and I) are excited about taking art and programming in to new directions. The kids are very excited and working hard on this project, which is great as we want our students to be both engaged and challenged. Do you know of any other high schools or middle schools using Oculus Rift in the classroom as part of a formal class?

Thanks,

    My sister is a teacher in elementary school. She wanted me to come and demo titans of space since they were reading about space at the time. Though I didn't have the time, I would really like to try it as a educational tool. When my DK2 arrives it might even be better suited.

    My 5 year old son loves to play the rift. Though I don't let him play extended time.
