Virtual Reality as a Classroom Tool

Through the past year it has become extremely clear that the education system needs to remain up to date on technology. The virtual reality headsets and tools are becoming the future of education. One specific article I researched discussed how classrooms with a diverse population used a VR headset to overcome the language barriers. The specific article described two groups of college students who are working on a project together. The groups included one Chinese group and one white group and what helped them successfully work on the project was the Virtual Reality headset.

Virtual reality sets can help students all around the world explore futuristic situations and connect with other students. The most important part of teachers becoming accessible with new technology like the virtual reality headsets is to promote global connection. The idea of becoming globally connected can change the way our future is in regarding to peace and promoting difference.
