Written proficiently well by author Emma Green, Virtual-Reality School Is the Next Frontier of the School-Choice Movement details the newest approach to technology with the classroom itself. This idea is to take the online format created during the overall global pandemic and enhance it. While we have in the past used VR to overall enhance the classroom by integrating with in person lessons, the idea is to now take it to the students’ homes to get rid of the old school module of schooling. Now you may wonder how this will benefit the student educational, but you must see how it also promotes economical and community involvement.

Student Education

• The State of Florida has already integrated this concept with their school-choice system showing a vast improvement to the learning and education of the student.
• Many classes within Optima are synchronous allowing the group classroom setting that many are familiar with to not deter families to think the student is learning on their own while providing a vast amount of different classes.
• The afternoon classes are purely asynchronous to allow students to gain self-paced knowledge to enhance on portions needed to be looked at by the student more and promote outside interests and family time.
• The ability to connect globally to other students allows an engagement of global communication that many would not be able to have due to restrictions of social media and approachability.

Economical and Communal Involvement

• Families will see the payment of Optima Ed through their taxes similarly to school taxes for public schooling.
• This allows an excess of money to occur through the limiting of transportation for the student
• The ability to not purchase extra clothing for uniforms throughout the school year.
• Promotes allocations to enhance activities for students to try new hobbies and interests that the student may not have been previously able to do.

Overall global integration of VR as the overall new way of school will indeed take time. Many obstacles will be faced with the overall providence of internet and technology to those in lower world countries. However, it has been undoubtedly noted the positives this type of learning can have on a student and the possibilities the learning could go. However, what do you think? Do you see this overall taking overall the style of teaching as a whole? Please feel free to let me know in the comments!
