As former teachers, we know how difficult it can be to find new and interesting ways of approaching topics or to find ways of integrating new technology and new content to the extent that it positively enriches the learning experience. Because of this, we are regularly adding new lesson ideas to the ClassVR portal to hopefully offer some inspiration for teaching and learning opportunities based on the content available.
Here are the latest offerings hot off the press:
MAGICAL PALACES
Take a look around real castles and other fairy tale settings while becoming familiar with traditional tales. You can also use this as a springboard to study 3D shapes in maths or explore movement in P.E.
SPORTING EVENTS
Visit some of the most amazing sporting events in the world and use this experience to inspire learning about health and fitness, nutrition, sports journalism and goal setting.
WEDDINGS
It is sometimes difficult to get an understanding of what different traditions and rituals are like around the world. In our Weddings category, you can visit anywhere from Slovakia to Malaysia and use these experiences to help understand different cultures and discuss the idea of making promises.
