Watch this edWebinar to learn how virtual reality (VR) is revolutionizing the way students are learning complex concepts in science and math. You discover how educators are able to bring lessons to life using VR, improving student engagement and learning outcomes.

The presenters discuss how VR is connecting learners with experiences, from complex simulations to simple lab experiments. They demonstrate how using VR’s immersive experiences promotes the connection between learner and concept, inspiring greater inquiry. What if a student could virtually enter a plant, become part of an ecosystem, or feel a connection with the smallest particles that make up the basis of life? All this and more are possible with VR, and you will be pleasantly surprised how easily it can be incorporated into your curriculum.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers, education technology leaders, and school and district leaders of the middle and high school grades.
