Successful education engages students in learning, collaborating and creating. It fosters rich discussion, helps students visualize abstract concepts, encourages them to identify challenges and supports them in creating solutions. In today's digital world, however, finding new ways to engage students is becoming increasingly difficult since smart phones are more interesting and engaging than most of the technology we provide in schools. Immersive technology is the next step in the natural evolution of computer based instruction and can deliver experiences that are not otherwise possible with traditional books or videos. Virtual reality is changing how students are learning, collaborating, and creating by providing experiences that teach through exploration. In educator Edgar Dale's "Cone of Learning" he states that we remember 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear and 90% of what we experience by doing or through simulations. Immersive technology such as VR can make abstract concepts visual, take students to new locations to explore or connect them with others around the world. This kind of experience gives students the ability to guide their own learning and results in higher engagement and retention.
