Virtual Reality providing students needed escape from constant restraints More than a year into the pandemic, most kids are back in school, but a few things are not exactly normal yet. Things like graduation, eating together in the cafeteria, and field trips continue to pose challenges. However, a growing number of local districts have found ways to give their students at least the feel of a field trip, through virtual reality. Last week, Mrs. McDonnell's third grade class got to try out the ClassVR headsets at Explorer Elementary in D20 for the first time. "Who can tell me where Big Ben is located?" asks Kristi Guinn to the class as they gazed into their goggles.
