Virtual reality looks cool, but can it actually help schools teach math?
Education Week
Virtual reality sounds cool but is it practically useful in schools? Prisms of Reality thinks the answer is decidedly "yes." Prisms, launched in 2019, works to integrate virtual reality into algebra for partners like the New York City Department of Education and the KIPP charter schools. I recently spoke with Anurupa Ganguly, the founder and CEO of Prisms, to learn about her take on virtual reality and its potential impact on math education.
