Episode Details

Imagine a classroom where students step into virtual worlds to learn essential social skills and prepare for life's challenges. This vision is becoming a reality through the power of virtual reality (VR).

In our latest podcast episode, Ange Anderson, headteacher of an innovative special school in Wales, discusses how VR technology is reshaping educational practices.

Join us as we explore how VR can help prepare young people for real life situations and how technology can make life in school easier for everyone.
