Abstract:
Virtual Reality (VR) has much more important role in these years than before. The growing number of VR environments provides a wider possibility for students and pupils for being virtual and for using them as a space for communicating and playing. Teachers of the next decades will have to be familiar with these technologies. We may suppose that the learning environments will use VR and Augmented Reality (AR) environments in the future for providing curricula for the next generations.This is the main reason why students who will teach computer science should be acquainted with some of these technologies and should know how they can use them in the classroom.
In this article we present a method that uses a virtual collaborative area, a VR environment where the students can create their own virtual space and where they can develop a presentation -- as a first step in using this kind of technology.
