This is a really interesting topic! I've tried using VR in the classroom and it's a game changer. Kids are more engaged and retain information better when they can interact with the material in a 3D space.

I couldn't agree more! I've seen similar results. I'm curious though, what specific VR tools or platforms have you used in the classroom?

I've used Nearpod VR and it's been great. The students love it. I'm considering investing in VR headsets for each student but it's a big investment.

Have you considered using a VR funding platform like Kickstarter or Indiegogo to raise money for VR headsets for your students? It could be a great way to get the community involved.

I've used both Google Expeditions and Nearpod VR with my students and both have been fantastic. The immersive experience really holds their attention.

Have you used the VR headsets with smartphones or standalone headsets? I'm curious about the pros and cons of both options.
