Learning with virtual reality

Learning with virtual reality

7WINK learners grasped an opportunity today to integrate our VR technology and equipment into our learning. We have been learning about electric energy, who Thomas Edison was, and how to build electric circuits. On the VR headsets learners were immersed in electric circuits, electric fields, and more! Learners were able to transfer the enthusiasm and excitement from virtual reality into building real circuits with equipment and delving into a bit of research about Thomas Edison and the amazing contributions he made to the world of science. Well done 7WINK, you clearly enjoyed the experience and ignited your 'spark' for learning today!
