VR in Today's Classroom

“Virtual reality (VR) was created to fulfill human curiosity about exploring beyond the reality.” (Bates-Brkljac, 2012, p.vii) VR allows people to see what the bottom of an ocean would look like, a place where the average person will never go. It allows students in America to explore the inside of the Taj Maj Hall without having to spend thousands of dollars for a trip. In order for students to get the most out of VR lessons, teachers have to be well trained and have the knowledge to make it effective and useful in the classroom. As the world technically advances educators must utilize technology in their classrooms. VR has the ability to enhance lessons far beyond pictures and PowerPoint presentations.
