Students at the Freshman Academy embarked on an extraordinary literary journey thanks to a generous grant from the Sand Springs Education Foundation. After delving into the gripping world of William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies,” students were transported to the heart of the novel through the power of virtual reality.
Equipped with state-of-the-art ClassVR headsets, students immersed themselves in the lush, yet treacherous island setting. They explored the sandy beaches, dense jungles, and towering cliffs that served as the backdrop for the boys’ dramatic struggle for survival. This immersive experience brought the novel to life, enhancing comprehension and sparking a deeper connection to the characters and plot.
By blending technology with literature, the Freshman Academy is at the forefront of innovative education. This virtual reality experience not only captivated students’ imaginations but also fostered critical thinking, problem-solving, and a love of reading.
