Virtual Reality and Immersive 360° experiences promise so much in education, however, the transition from vision into reality in the classroom is a lot more complicated than just buying headsets or launching students into an interactive experience.
Teachers have to think about its learning affordances, how to bring it into the curriculum and lesson plan, the pedagogical approach, sourcing the right equipment, and the different student capabilities and skills in using the technology; and made even more difficult for regional, rural, under-resourced and disadvantaged schools and educators.
These challenges are what WA school teacher Hayden Brown, Halls Head College, and Kingston Lee-Young, CEO of VRTY.io are trying to solve for Australian schools, communities and education focussed teams.
