Result
Enhanced Learning Experience Boosts Student Engagement
St. Mark Catholic School is a leader in elementary and middle school education, always ready to adopt new technology that could help its students and teachers. ClassVR, an emerging option in classroom virtual reality (VR), is its newest educational tool.
St. Mark has already distinguished itself as a two-time recipient of the U.S. Department of Education's National Blue Ribbon Award and has received a rare nomination for a third. It is one of Texas' most innovative schools, with an interactive SmartLab on its campus designed to engage students with the technology used in many advanced disciplines, including robotics, digital animation, medicine, data analysis and software engineering.
With ClassVR, students can travel anywhere in the world (and beyond) to expand their horizons and learn things that would be difficult to grasp from a textbook. St. Mark Catholic School teachers and students are already making use of ClassVR in this way, and the school is excited about the technology's potential.
For example, the teachers have used ClassVR to place their students in other parts of the world, including some of the world's forests, to experience what autumn is like around the globe and then write descriptive paragraphs about what they see. St. Mark teachers will also be able to use ClassVR to reinforce the school's SmartLab curriculum, as ClassVR comes with 3D engineering and machinery content.
With ClassVR, St. Mark Catholic School is bringing the future of education into the classroom so its students are ready for their future beyond the classroom.
