Researchers at the University of Washington have been at the forefront of exploring the 1 of VR to education. In 1995, for example, almost 3,000 students in grades four to twelve 2 VR in the classroom, and another 365 built their own virtual environments (VEs). Make no mistake, virtual reality is on its way into our public schools. The 3 of articles about VR in educational journals is increasing by leaps and bounds. Workshops and symposia on VR at local and national education conferences are becoming commonplace. At the same time, the cost of what were once expensive VR workstations is coming down to the point where schools can begin to 4 them.

Students learn while they are situated in the context where what they learn is to be applied. They get 7 feedback(反馈) as they explore their understanding of the material. Of course, Virtual Reality is also a place for 8 expression. We can create a world that does not exist. We can build things without consuming natural 9 . We can create art. We can see music. We can express our imagination. We can generate and communicate our ideas visually. |
