Considering ClassVR was sold to us as an “educational” resource, rather than other VR systems that are more entertainment based, or just general knowledge, we are struggling to match content to the objectives of our curriculum.. The issue we have is that there are not enough resources specifically for the English Primary National Curriculum. I doubt the creators of the content have even looked at the UK’s Primary National Curriculum. I’m sure they get a lot more use out of ClassVR in America.
Paul found ClassVR:
- Slightly increases student collaboration“The children in Year 6 using the trench VR from WW1 enabled to talk about what they had learned and get more of a feeling for what it must have been like for the soldiers. The volcano AR (and other mountains) helped the children discuss mountains more easily.”
- Slightly improves attainment“Not yet!”
- Moderately builds student knowledge“We are a knowledge based curriculum school. Being able to see certain aspects of what they are learning helps the children to retain knowledge better than they may have.”
