I had the opportunity to use an Oculus headset recently and was so impressed with the world that it opened up that I had an epiphany: how spectacular would it be to teach in such an environment? How amazing would it be to outfit my classroom with a couple of VR headsets? Virtual Reality, with its ability to create a simulated environment, could really be the future of education! There are hundreds of education programs on the market like IXL, iReady, Nearpod, etc but unlike these (albeit fantastic) programs, Virtual reality can put the student inside an experience. Instead of seeing a screen in front of them, students can immerse themselves in the experience and interact with 3 dimensional worlds which has endless possibilities and countless applications.
Not only can virtual reality put the student inside an experience, it allows an opportunity for them to feel immersed in science and social studies in a way never before achieved.
