In the 1980s, it was said that human knowledge doubled every seven years. Currently, some experts believe this happens every two and a half years. Probably, with these new educational technologies, the process will be even faster.
Virtual reality works true miracles and is leading to an educational revolution throughout the world, including in .
The Israeli teacher Dan Shechtman, Nobel Prize in Chemistryis one of the drivers of this revolution.
A educational revolution It is, above all, for children who attend school. Thanks to virtual reality and three-dimensionalityit is possible to place them in any scenario in the world and make them experience the event in first person.
In Israel, for example, they take Israeli and Arab children out of their traditional classrooms and place them on a space station, in the Colosseum in Rome or in a hospital operating room.
In traditional education, it is usually the teacher who explains everything. Here, everything is reversed and the students lead and take a dominant role. Young people can now create and build spaces for themselves. Teachers sit on the sidelines and supervise the situation, but everything is done by the students. They often do it better than the teachers themselves.
Virtual reality has been around for decades. However, the project being developed at the Israeli Ministry of Education intends to use the Metaverse to learn in a totally different way.
New educational technologies have infinite possibilities. Students from Friendly and enemy countries can study together any topic, at any time in history and with anyone. The current generation is experiencing one of the greatest revolutions in the history of education.
