Virtual Reality in the Classroom
Minecraft .....It is worth checking out!
Virtual reality is a big thing coming up into the education world. Kids nowadays love video games. If work feels like a game to students, then sometimes it is a lot easier to swallow for them. I went to a session ran by some teachers in VA beach that use minecraft in their classroom. In minecraft you can make your own world or use the prefabricated worlds that other people have already created......I think there is a cost to using it but I am unsure. I am new to minecraftedu. If there is a cost, then I think we might be able to get a discount.
Teachers in the minecraft world can fly over the world that the students are in. They can teleport students to where ever they are and they can freeze students from moving, both of these will help to get the attention of the students when need be.
