The D39 Educational Foundation awarded $19,517 to Highcrest Middle School for the purchase of a class VR. There are many benefits to adding ClassVR to our classrooms. ClassVR is an immersive virtual reality platform that allows students to experience a wide range of educational content in a way that is engaging and interactive. With ClassVR, students are able to explore historical sites, scientific concepts, and cultural landmarks from all around the world in a safe and controlled environment.
In addition to curricular connections, another benefit of Class VR is its ability to
support social and emotional development among students. Research has shown that virtual reality experiences can help students develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation skills, and empathy for others. They will build relationships and social skills by participating in shared VR experiences.
