According to Common Sense Media, 70 percent of students between the ages of 8 and 15 express an interest in virtual reality. The article goes on to say that virtual reality systems are a great way to enhance lessons by giving students interactive and engaging experiences.
The Oculus Go hardware was chosen due to it being a complete system that does not have to be paired with a phone and because it has its own software ecosystem. There are thousands of Oculus compatible experiences available and many of them are free. The two units will be used to pilot using Virtual Reality in the classroom and will hopefully lead to larger projects at the school and district levels.
With the hardware, students will have supplemental experiences such as observing the Moon and Mars from their surfaces. They will also experience amazing animals, landmarks, and other parts of nature that they normally would not see outside of a video or picture by interacting with them in a virtual environment. All lessons will align with state standards and will enhance learning that is already occurring in the classroom.
