Virtual Reality for Education
Forbes
When people hear about virtual reality (VR), images of a person wearing a headset and holding a gaming console usually come to mind. However, for the education sector, VR is an opportunity to finally connect with both learners and teachers in a novel and meaningful way.
Virtual reality makes it a reality for students to travel the world without leaving the classroom
CNN
Now, students are immersed under the water and into imaginary spacesuits to experience life as explorers and astronauts, if only for a few minutes. Virtual reality (VR) is entering classrooms around the world and taking pupils on field trips to the most inaccessible corners of the planet.
VR has the potential to drive learning at a deeper level.
Edutopia
"My question is always: How is virtual reality different from educational film?" asks Audrey Watters, who speaks extensively on the role of technology in education and writes the blog Hack Education . "I do worry that we'll increasingly substitute watching a movie-under the guise of simulation or VR-for field trips and other offline enrichment opportunities that are more meaningful."
This allows students to see & experience places around the world. They could learn about the world as if they were really there.
