Schools are bringing devices into their classrooms and taking their students on virtual field trips. This allows them to explore and experience different lesson plans their teachers have outlined for them. For example, through the use of Google Expeditions, a class can explore a certain historical event or they can visit specific locations around the world. Teachers are able to bring their lessons to life and give the students a completely unique experience that wasn’t previously available in the classroom. These interactive lessons capture students’ attention to keep them involved in the classroom and improve memory of the material.

The change in curriculum has shifted how students interact and learn. They are becoming more interested in topics because they can actually see them and their overall engagement has increased. One common phrase that is associated with Virtual Reality is constructivist learning and this states that people construct their own understanding based on their experiences. Students are able to form their own opinions through this new type of teaching and comprehend what they are viewing. Virtual Reality is changing the educational landscape by engaging students and creating a learning experience that captivates the students.
