Promote Environmental Awareness and Care by Creating a Virtual Reality Tour for the Local Community
Geography Teacher, v21 n3 p119-125 2024
According to the author, this innovative lesson plan incorporates virtual reality (VR) technology to foster environmental awareness and care in late primary-age students. Drawing on the place-based education approach and social constructivism in the lesson design, students participate in collaborative project-based learning. The students' task involves creating a VR tour to showcase local environmental issues, their causes, and potential solutions. In tackling real-world environmental issues, students advance their digital and geographical literacies and deepen their community ties. Finally, this lesson plan can be extended to offer a multidisciplinary learning experience, merging diverse subjects to cultivate knowledge, skills, and attitudes beyond conventional subject boundaries.
