The VR educational tool I looked into was the VR Lessons by ThingLink app. This app allows you to visit multiple destinations around the world. The app will show you a 360° view of whichever place you pick to visit. Each destination also has links embedded in the images that will take you to different websites with information and facts about each place. The app also has audio available for people who struggle to read well.
This tool is tailored more for primary school children because it's easy to use and doesn't include any super difficult concepts. The idea for this tool is to allow people, like young children, to visit places around the world that they normally wouldn't be able to visit. Teachers would also use this app to help teach their young students about the different ecosystems around the world. It probably wouldn't be used by secondary school students because the information would most likely already be known.
This tool can benefit individuals by teaching them about environments they're not likely to experience at home. It can also benefit teachers by helping them save time from having to design their own lessons from scratch when going over these subjects in class. This VR tool can also help students get familiar with using a VR lesson so that they're more prepared for if they participate in more VR lessons in the future. Lastly, this app can help parents save money from having to go on expensive trips their kids might want to take, instead just take a VR tour.
