YourUpdateTV

Now that the summer break is finally here, teachers and educators have an opportunity to earn extra income by hosting on Airbnb. Recently, Airbnb Superhost, Katy Severe, conducted a satellite media tour to talk about her experience being Airbnb host and share tips for any educators considering Hosting during the summer break. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/ZeizUJJRJQ8 Like other Americans, teachers have had to navigate the rising cost of living, often on tight salaries. To help make ends meet, teachers have taken to hosting on Airbnb as an option to help supplement income during summer months and beyond. In 2022, teachers collectively earned more than $330 million1 - including $110 million2 during the summer months alone. This money helps provide a meaningful boost in income when class is not in session, and can help cover household bills, pay for everyday expenses, and fund hobbies outside of the classroom. Educator Hosts have long been a part of the Airbnb community. In 2022, the number of US educators hosting on Airbnb increased by nearly 10 percent3 compared with the previous year, underscoring the fact that more and more teachers are taking advantage of the economic benefits of home sharing. Hosting is now easier than ever Airbnb has made it easier than ever to become a Host with Airbnb Setup and over 25 new features and upgrades for Hosts. For those looking to become a Private Room Host, Airbnb recently introduced Airbnb Rooms, an all-new take on the original Airbnb that helps guests travel more affordably, connect with people and have authentic experience, and get to know their Hosts. In 2022, over 25 percent of US teachers on the platform were private room Hosts4. In the current economic environment, Airbnb believe this idea is more important than ever. These teachers understood the assignment by taking advantage of hosting on Airbnb, and guests are giving them A+’s all around. Make your home do the work this summer by signing up to Host on Airbnb. Every Host’s experience hosting is unique. Host booking numbers may vary widely depending on many factors, including availability, price, acceptance and cancellation rates, and the demand in the listing location. 1According to internal Airbnb data between January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 of Hosts who self-reported as teachers or professors. 2According to internal Airbnb data between June 1, 2022 and August 31, 2022 of Hosts who self-reported as teachers or professors. 3The number of self-identified teachers or professors who earned income by hosting from January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 compared to January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021. 4According to internal Airbnb data between January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 of Private Room Hosts who self-reported as teachers or professors.

Katy holds a Masters degree in education and is in her 16th year of teaching. She started her teaching career as a fourth grade teacher in Oregon before moving to Iowa in 2011. The extra income earned from hosting has allowed Katy to work part-time as an adjunct instructor at a local university, and also start her own tutoring business. When she's not teaching, Katy enjoys spending time with her family, exploring the outdoors, gardening, reading, and creating art.

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/ma3UlYWugug To mark World Refugee Day, which occurred on June 20th, organizations like Airbnb.org and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) continue to raise awareness about the ongoing needs of refugee populations around the world and connect them to free emergency stays. From refugees fleeing events in Afghanistan to people displaced by the war in Ukraine, Airbnb.org is proud to work with partners like IOM, as well as Airbnb.org Hosts and donors, to offer welcoming places to stay during unimaginable times of crisis. Kristen Berlacher, Director of Programs at Airbnb.org, and Amy Pope, Director General Elect of IOM, talked about this important collaboration. Since its founding in December 2020, Airbnb.org has worked with IOM and organizations around the world to connect nearly 200,000 refugees and asylum seekers with free, temporary stays, including: ○ 135,000+ refugees from Ukraine ○ 34,000+ refugees from Afghanistan During the media tour, topics that were discussed included: ● How the state of refugees and asylum seekers evolved in recent years and where there has been the greatest need. ● Why providing temporary housing is a key part of refugee relief and how temporary housing benefits both refugees and their local host communities over the long-term. ● How the partnership between Airbnb.org and IOM has been instrumental in addressing the temporary housing needs of refugees and asylum seekers internationally. ● How people can support ongoing refugee relief efforts by Airbnb.org and IOM.

Introducing Borderless: The New Way to Build and Share VR Experiences

Borderless

Today, Borderless announces that its free, no-code, virtual reality (VR) experience creation platform will soon be available to the public. Previously for enterprise use only, the platform will now make VR more accessible, scalable, and adaptable for organizations, brands and creators worldwide. It is currently compatible with leading VR headsets like Meta Quest and Pico Neo, with plans to include the Apple Vision Pro. “VR is a powerful technological asset, and Borderless aims to make it approachable and powerful, to the technical and non-technical alike,” says Matt Robison, founder and CEO of Borderless. “We’re knocking down barriers to entry and aim to become the platform for creating and sharing immersive experiences; ones that have the potential for lasting positive impact.” Borderless is already trusted by enterprise clients including a major consumer electronics brand, a top retail training provider, and educational nonprofit, Act One. It simplifies the creation and delivery of VR experiences for a wide range of use. With the platform open and available to anyone, organizations can design and update learning and development programs to train employees, brand marketers can build and share immersive activations, educators can transport students to new places, and artists can bring their work to audiences in new ways. Borderless allows individuals and organizations to build immersive experiences in minutes with no headset required. Users can upload 180° or 360° video and images, and create interactive quizzes or surveys all in a simple, web-based tool, previewing their work as they go. A Unity uploader will also allow 3D creators to bring their work, including games, into the platform. Customizable environments tie a complete experience together. Once an experience is created, users can deploy to their compatible devices, from headsets to tablets, simultaneously. Borderless makes it easy for users to keep up with managing their content—from creating and deploying to collecting analytics. “With the Borderless platform, we’ve been able to transport thousands of students in Arizona to places they would never get to see,” said Rachel Yanof, Executive Director, Act One. “Our first VR field trip featured Chicago-based artist Sentrock, a Mexican-American muralist originally from Arizona. We wanted to create inspiring trips grounded in relatable stories that showed students a broader world where people just like them went on to express themselves through art. While there are similar learning opportunities between a traditional arts field trip and VR, we could go even deeper into storytelling with the virtual experience content we created using Borderless.” Starting today, you can check out the official sizzle reel here and sign up at borderlessvr.com to be the first notified about its official debut in the fall with your first look at the no-code platform demo here.
