Thank you, Giant Tiger!
With the generous support of Giant Tiger, we're excited to be able to purchase a set of virtual reality equipment for our education program within our after-school programs!
Virtual reality can be used to enhance student learning and engagement. It can transform the way educational content is delivered.
Here are just a few properties that makes virtual reality in education so powerful.
- Better sense of place
- When students read about something, they often want to experience it.
- With VR, they aren’t limited to word descriptions or book illustrations; they can explore the topic and see how things are put together.
Thanks to the feeling of presence that virtual reality provides, students can learn about a subject by living it. This feeling engages the mind in a way that is remarkable.
Thank you Giant Tiger for making this possible! We can't wait to start using this equipment!
