Learning Through Virtual Reality!

Help me give my students two virtual reality headsets to enhance their learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Modeen's classroom raised $873

This project is fully funded

My Project

Virtual reality headsets would assist teachers at THS by giving them the ability to create exciting, engaging and memorable lessons for their students. Students will be fully immersed in the lessons which will assist in improving learning outcomes and also help social and emotional learning.

Teachers from every subject area would be able to enhance lessons using the VR headsets as they will be kept in the library media center with access to all.

There are several programs available to use for each subject area.

Students can travel through the human body and conduct experiments for science. In social studies, they can visit Anne Frank's house or various locations all over the world. Math classes can work with geometrical shapes and play interactive math games.

No matter what the subject, the students at THS would love to have the VR sets available for use during instructional time.
