Virtual reality (VR) can be used in the classroom to enhance student learning and engagement. With VR, students can experience the world and interact with it. VR is a transformative classroom tool that can transform the way educational content is delivered. Students are able to have more hands-on experience with this augmented reality.
Virtual reality can enhance social integration of students with different learning needs. These virtual reality headsets can transport students to different settings in which they could experience those settings firsthand. For example, if we are learning about the formation of the solar system, students have a chance to experience how the solar system was created. Students are transported to space and can see how our solar system became what it is today. Also, if we were learning about a rock formation in Utah, students can be transported to Utah and see the rock formation for themselves. They can take virtual field trips all around the world.
We plan to use the VR headset to bring scientific concepts to life as students learn them. This will engage them in their own learning and will motivate them to keep learning the material. It will also equip them with the knowledge of 21st century technology.
