Virtual Reality

   Virtual Reality is an interactive experience through simulated environments. It's mostly for visuals and auditory, but in some cases can have other sensory features. Using virtual reality is another way to make your classroom engaging for the students. Virtual reality will be used to go on field trips, but stay in the classroom students will get the experience of traveling around the world. These learners will have the chance to go to a place they never thought of going in their lifetime. These experiences can be turned into lessons that teachers can use. For example, teachers can show significant monuments in Rome in a history class when they are doing their Roman Empire unit. I think it will be great to add this technology tool to the classroom but it will get the learners to want to learn instead of making the learning process difficult. I can think of so many ways I could use this tool to improve a lesson plan. I remember when I was a tutor for 7th and 8th-grade class we participated in a virtual tour of a university instead of actually going to the campus. The students loved it, but it would have been cooler to use the VR goggles to actually imagine you were on the campus. It brings a better experience for the students.
