Reimagining Education with Virtual Reality
Be sure you have read our Opportunity Forecast for Virtual Reality before continuing.
As Michael Bodekaer points out in his Ted Talk (right), virtual reality (VR) can revolutionize the way science is taught in schools. Students can now do science experiments with VR goggles, and it makes them actively participate in the course. Instructor Capt. Scott Powell also points to the pedagogical benefits of using VR: "A true benefit to simulation is the ability to replay and debrief with the student, along with providing feedback on his or her performance." |

In this activity, we ask you to think about:
Check the articles in our Resources section for ideas!
- How can VR play a role in science subjects, such as physics and chemistry?
- If schools do purchase the VR goggles that Michael Bodekaer invented, how well do you think the students will learn from the virtual experience? Will the VR lab be as good as the real lab?
