Assignment 3: Virtual Reality Goggles

A VR adventure I believe would be great for students in the classroom would be the roller coaster experience. While using the VR goggles, i downloaded the app VEER. On VEER, the first thing I found was the popular roller coaster ride. Immediately, I thought about how fun this would be for students who can not ride roller coasters, which could be due to health or physical limitations. This VR experience could be safe and fun for students to experience and can say they have experienced what a roller coaster feels or looks like. This is also something that could be implemented in the classroom as a reinforcement.

I would use this app in my classroom as a reward for students who earn it. This could increase positive behavior across students, as they would all want to try the VR roller coaster. Not only would this increase positive behavior, but it will also increase those everyday life experiences that unfortunately many people with disabilities do not get to experience. The app VEER also included many other VR videos, such as being in a jungle. This could also be implemented in the classroom as a teaching lesson when learning about the environment. Not only would students learn, but they would also get to experience what they are learning with the VR goggles.
