Virtual reality places students right in the middle of the learning and shows them the concepts they read about in their textbooks. That immediate, real-world connection makes all the difference in successfully learning that concept. Virtual reality also helps students struggling to understand difficult academic concepts.
For example, through VR, my students can check out 3D atomic forms from multiple perspectives; they can rotate an atom to see it from different angles and even view it from the inside.
Many STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) topics also lend themselves well to VR. When it comes down to it, what child wouldn’t enjoy “visiting” the planets of the solar system?
