3 Reasons Why You Should Use Virtual Reality In The Classroom
|
|
LEAVE THE CLASSROOM!!! - This is the most cost effective way to leave the four walls of your classroom. Field trips are a rarity this day and age because of a lack of funds for many school districts. This technology will allow students to experience events outside of their city, state, and country. Not only that, you can travel outside of this world, into the deep depths of the oceans, or even scale down to the molecular structure of a cell. There is "minimal setup for maximum engagement... that will take your students on an adventure of a lifetime" using FREE applications such as Google Expeditions. These experiences will have students there parents what they did in school without being asked!

TIME TRAVEL!!! - Go back and experience history in first person. Whether it's reliving the Battle of the Alamo, experiencing the Ancient Colosseum, Ancient Egypt, or remembering Pearl Harbor, VR/AR are changing the way we experience learning. Students become submersed into a time and place that makes them forget that they are actually in a classroom. History has never felt so ALIVE!

|
LET STUDENTS CREATE!!! - Provide students opportunities for critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration into the classroom as students develop their own virtual/augmented experiences. Students can now create 360 tours of anywhere in the world by merging Google Tour Creator with Google Expeditions without needing technical knowledge. Students can also create virtual/augment worlds and experiences using CoSpaces and Metaverse. It's time to bring our students into the 21st century and take learning to the next level!
