My Project

My students in grades 4-6 will greatly benefit from the Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset. Virtual Reality (VR) has become increasingly popular over the past years, and has now made its way into the classroom. What better way to engage students than to present them with the endless possibilities of VR?

With this equipment my students would have the chance to visit Greece as we learn about Alexander the Great.

They can tour Antarctica as we complete a unit on penguins and animal adaptations. They can be a part of a science experiment that we aren't able to perform in an elementary school building, the possibilities are endless!

My goal for this project is to help my students become more immersed in the curriculum. I want my students to have a chance to have interactive and meaningful experiences while at school. Textbooks and computers are great resources, but in this digital age, VR headsets take students that extra mile.

My students live in a very small town where their access to bigger things is not always possible. Many of the students that I teach have never left the state! It would be very rewarding to give them the opportunity to explore the universe.
