FLORENCE, S.C. — One day last week, students, parents and teachers at Royall Elementary School explored the human heart, watched a butterfly’s metamorphosis and dissected frogs — all from the comfort of an air conditioned bus and without any mess.
The school was showing off its latest innovative learning system: the zSpace virtual reality (VR) lab. A zSpace bus brought a traveling lab for people to explore but the school itself will have 10 VR systems set up in a lab starting next school year for student instruction.
Royall Principal Julie Smith said schools have to stay on top of new learning trends.
