The world of virtual reality was brought into the classroom for the first time in Naas Community College on the 26th of May 2017. First year students were brought through to the centre of the Solar System with the VR headsets in the science lab. The class was structured around modelling and students worked at different activity stations. The reaction from each of the students was fantastic when they were immersed into a virtual Solar System and they were able to explore their surroundings. This experience demonstrates that there is an opportunity to bring VR into the classroom for a beneficial purpose alongside a structured lesson. Well done to all the students who were excited in trying out this new teaching methodology!
