Using virtual reality in schools is permanently changing the nature and course of how children learn. A physics class is able to experiment in a simulated virtual reality physics lab in which they control the properties of all the objects, observe them from any angle, and communicate with other students immersed in virtual reality. Meanwhile, in another part of the school, students in a social studies class use it to immerse themselves in a recreation of the Battle of 1812. Mathematics students place themselves inside of an equation. English students tour Shakespeare's Globe Theater as it existed centuries ago, and so on.
Virtual reality puts students inside of their subjects.
They travel through a computer to learn how it operates. They become a part of what they're learning, which can happen only in virtual reality. A virtual reality lab is similar to the way today's computer and language labs are used. Each class, at selected points during the week uses the virtual reality lab to supplement to traditional classroom work. A rapidly growing library of courseware allows virtual reality learning materials to be used by every class in the school.
