WSU Tri-Cities Professor Researching Virtual Reality for Classroom [VIDEO]
Jonah Firestone, a professor of education at Washington State University Tri-Cities, is researching the use of virtual and augmented reality in the classroom setting.
This could really change the way classes are taught in the future.
Firestone, according to the WSU Tri-Cities YouTube, says "the technology, he said, can help students with learning disabilities, as well as be a tremendous tool in the general education setting."
It's exciting to see the kids get excited in the classroom and wanting to learn thanks to the VR technology and Professor Firestone is making learning fun.
