For this project, I had to choose an emerging technology to research and present about. The topic that I chose was Virtual Reality (VR) because VR is emerging as a learning and teaching tool in the classroom setting, which I find interesting and applicable to my life as a current student and aspiring teacher.
I learned many new information about VR that I was not aware of before. I knew that VR was applicable to learning and education, however I was not aware of the many vast fields VR can be used for. For instance, I learned that VR can help individuals treat their mental disorders, such as anxiety and PTSD, through simulations that provide meditation, therapy, and cognitive learning, which is an example of the many benefits VR can provide for us.
