  Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment.  By simulating as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, even smell, the computer is transformed into a gatekeeper to this artificial world. The only limits to near-real VR experiences are the availability of content and cheap computing power. Virtual reality can improve education by providing students with memorable and immersive experiences that would otherwise not be possible, it can all take place within the classroom. VR is accessible to every student and can be easily monitored by teachers. Virtual experiences have the power to engage and inspire students in a unique and powerful way.  Here's a video about how Virtual Reality can help education:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtWStM1oMPU

ThingLink is tool to use technology to make education more engaging. It allows teachers to turn any image, video, or 360-degree VR shot into a learning experience. It allows for the addition of icons, or 'tags,' which can pull in or link off to rich media.  Aside from the tagging system that works well to accelerate   media with a level of depth that makes typical slideshow presentations feel very old fashioned, ThingLink also has a powerful language tool. The virtual reality tool is a great way to show a guided tour of an area without the need for actual teacher presence or a physical trip to the place. Here's an example I created on Thinglink about where you can visit when you go to Istanbul:  Thinglink example

Augmented reality is a Web 3.0 tool that   is an enhanced version of the real physical world that is achieved through the use of digital visual elements, sound, or other sensory stimuli delivered via technology. With the help of augmented reality (AR), educators are able to improve learning outcomes through increased engagement and interactivity. If you move your mobile camera to space, AR enables you to see a computer-generated object on your screen. Altogether, it happens in real time while you view it from your camera. This technique can enable students to learn in a more interactive environment. Another aspect of the AR experience is that it includes both digital reality and existing reality. So, it doesn't replace the complete environment with the virtual; rather, it integrates virtual objects into the real world.  To learn more about Augmented Reality, you can check  AR in education   To see the examples of using Augmented Reality in classes and its advantages, you can visi
