Last week, LWC students in Mr. Robbins’ World War I and World War II history class were treated to an immersive virtual reality experience. Through VR, students were transported into the muddy trenches of World War I, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of what soldiers experienced on the front lines.
Students first viewed a narrated VR video, watching airplanes fly overhead and tanks move through the battlefield. They then took control of the experience, exploring the trenches independently and engaging with the environment firsthand.
This experience was made possible through a grant from the Lincoln-Way Foundation! We are so appreciative of their support in enhancing the student experience in our schools.
