In which ways “Virtual Reality” can be used in education?
As an Educator and Learner, I believe Virtual reality is a good resource of technology in education. Through VR students can learn and understand better well. It includes the real experience of visual learning. This can be introduced to different grades in various subjects. VR has Visual and audio options that are effective and interesting to students. I think the use of VR in subjects like Science, Social, chemistry, etc. This also has some challenges in education. Firstly, teachers need to be trained in this technology to help students to adapt it. Secondly, this can be expensive for students and school management. Along with this initial use of it causes physical incapabilities to students. Therefore, VR technology can be beneficial when it is introduced to education for students as well as educators.
Technology has become a significant day to the day teaching-learning process. What are the challenges faced by an educator while selecting technology to enhance their teaching?
In today’s world technology has become very important in education. As many students are rapidly taking part in learning through technology, the educator has a very important role in selecting specific technology to enhance students learning and their teaching. Teachers need to consider a student’s ability to support the use of such technology. I believe the financial problem is a major challenge in some countries. Many students can not afford such expensive technology. The cost of this can be a challenge for school and parents too.
Hi Azeez. I agree with your comment that teachers need to understand the student’s ability before they can introduce and support the use of technology in classrooms. This is a part of a larger importance of understanding what each student understands and then forming a plan to give them the most optimal path to learning for that year. Today, technology is an important component of the plan so the knowledge of student ability will best serve the teacher when implementing this plan.
