VIRTUAL REALITY

Virtual reality(VR) is creating a virtual world and presenting our senses in a way that we were really there. With VR technology we are not only seeing the screen in front of us, we  experience like we are inside of this place. There are many areas using the virtual reality, such as military, healthcare, fashion, business, sport, entertainment, enginering, media, and education. Microsoft HoloLens, Sony’s Project Morpheus, The Vive by Valve, Samsung GearVR, Google Cardboard, Magic Leap, Carl Zeiss, Archos, Razer and Avegant are some companies that are working on VR technology. One of the VR are is education. It is regarding me because I am going to be a teacher. Today children are familiar with all forms of technology. They have grown up with technology from a very early age. To attract and hold the attention of students can be easy with using VR technology in the lessons. For effective learning students should apply what they have learnt into their real worlds. While teaching something students do not have any knowledge what we are talking about. To Show them what we are talking about we can use VR technology. The best way of learning is doing and seeing what we are learning about. For example; while teaching animals we can first show the animals then we can teach their names. So it would be more interesting and catchy. Learning and teaching body parts, numbers, vegetables, verbs can be more easy to remembered. Also, with VR technology students can improve their speaking and writing skills. They can experience of being at a cafe or at a hospital and they can improve their speaking according to a situation. As a future teacher I can make an a lot of activities with using VR technology. In that way I always keep my students motivated and interested.
