Is virtual reality a viable option for secondary schools?
Virtual Reality (VR) is no longer the future; it’s already here, transforming how we teach and learn.
I see this technology regularly on my teacher training trips, especially in further education colleges and occasionally in primary schools, but not so much in our secondary sector.
With platforms like SchooVR (always good to see products referenced academically), teachers can create immersive learning experiences, from virtual field trips to interactive quizzes, all aligned with the curriculum.
Virtual reality as a tool not only captivates students but can also support the crucial process of retrieval practice, where students actively recall information, strengthening their understanding and retention.
