    How virtual reality can benefit the classroom

    (image of dull classroom and maybe a jingle or something)

    Learning is an indispensable tool for us as human beings. Just as we use food to maintain

    our bodies, we learn as a way to maintain our minds. We as educators are consistently trying to

    find ways to make a more fun and interactive learning environment. A new, innovative idea for

    branching out training and education is virtual reality. Is VR the future of training?

    (image of a fun classroom or vr. headset use in business setting)

    Virtual reality in training is used to create real workplace scenarios, giving the employee

    an opportunity to safely experience the situations they will encounter on the job. Many

    companies are currently using virtual reality for safety training such as (insert image of BP) BP

    Oil and (insert image of Exxon) ExxonMobil. (Revert image to training one or Exxon) For

    Exxon, the virtual reality training is not limited to safety, they allow engineers and gas operators

    run through digital garage simulations. Putting the engineer in the situation to assess complex

    scenarios offers “hands on” training that will hone their hard skills safely.

    (Change image to someone training with vr headset at Walmart)

    Taking the focus away from safety training, there are other avenues that we can explore.

    Walmart has taken the initiative with virtual reality training at their “Walmart Academy” training

    centers, they put employees into scenarios that simulate real work moments and ask them to

    make decisions based on what they see. The goal is to put the employee in difficult situations

    that are challenging to duplicate, such as an upset customer or the intense crowds during black

    Friday.

    Many may be worried about the cost of virtual reality. The costs of headsets and

    equipment are sometimes more reasonable when compared to the cost of training programs, but

    you need an exceptionally powerful computer to run the programs. Too slow a frame rate and it

    will not run properly. Using virtual reality when training in safety and manual tasks will increase

    protection of employees and allow meaningful lessons. This is a fun way to let employees

    interact with their work environment.

    (Happy picture)
