WEST SALEM, Wis. (WXOW) - April s Tools for Schools winner is solving an existential problem with modern technology.
Thanks to the grant from Brenengen Auto Group, Dependable Solutions, River Bank, and The Board Store, Laura Deal will be bringing virtual reality glasses into her classroom.
Seniors at West Salem High School who are reading Shakespeare s Hamlet can view the play through the virtual reality headsets, giving them a new way to immerse themselves. It s cool to see them get up and walk around and have that sort of engagement in your classroom and the giggles and the Oh my gosh, why is there a bathtub here? That s not in Hamlet! So you hear them actually bring their knowledge into what s going and how it s different in this movie. So to me, that is really exciting, said Laura Deal.
