Bringing Virtual Experiences To My Classroom Why Virtual Reality?: Edger Dale’s Cone of Experience has shown that the average person only remembers 20% of what they hear and 30% of what they see, but up to 90% of what they personally experience. As a result, lessons that incorporate virtual resources provide a richer and deeper experience that will have more of an impact on the learning experience of students. Goal: To be able to travel to and explore places all over the world without leaving the classroom. Virtual reality makes travel possible without the constraints of time, fees, and permission slips. Without stepping foot on a bus, my students will be able to visit different regions of the United States, museums, national parks, and national monuments with virtual class tours. My Students are from a Title I school with 90% receiving free or reduced lunch, without this virtual field trip, would never be able to experience many of these places. The Social Studies Content Interventionist for our school has been collecting and creating 360 photos and videos that align and support our social studies standards. My students will now be able to explore different regions of South Carolina and the United States. They can look over New York City from the top of the Empire State Building and stand in the middle of Times Square to understand the characteristics of urban cities. They will be able to experience the unique features of the Southwest by visiting deserts, mountain ranges, and canyons using the virtual reality goggles. Student will be able to compare neighborhoods from Chinatown in San Francisco to Little Italy in New York City. These virtual tours will bring a new and exciting approach to learning in my classroom.
