VIRTUAL REALITY

 You remember the term ''Virtual Reality'' from my previous post. I told you that it looks similar to Augmented Reality but they are different.
The term ''Virtual Reality'' is used for computer-based 3-D environments where individuals feel the sense of being there. Using VR devices such as HTC Vive, Oculus Rift or Google Cardboard, users can be transported into a number of real-world and imagined environments.

We tried an application that is called rollercoaster simulation. It was very exciting and realistic.
We used cardboards to try this app.
Dizziness and nauseation is normal.

You can see the development of VR headsets.

  Sensorama is considered one of the oldest virtual reality systems.

You are probably wondering how this technology is used in education.

 The history of this technology goes back 70 years. We, as teachers, need to find different/interesting ways to teach something because each student's learning method is different. We need to bring diversity to the classroom to attract students' attention.

 Now, every kid has the opportunity to access educational tools that exist in the world.In the classroom, students can learn history, biology, English with VR glasses. Students think that using VR technology in classrooms. Instead of learning through reading a textbook, this way of learning is more effective on students. In the video, Beyond The Frame: The New Classroom,  students look at a skeleton using VR technology. They can see the muscles, bones... They visit different countries and they learn the history of different countries. We can also support our students' language learning with the help of a virtual assistant or we can use animations to teach a subject. 

 Integrating this technology into classes depends on our imagination. :)))
