Virtual reality is one of many forms of computer technology that schools have begun to use often in the last decade. The U.S. Department of Education reported in late 2003 that about 90 percent of people aged five to seventeen use computers, mostly at school but also in libraries or at home.

The Foundation Coalition emphasizes putting computer-related technologies in the hands of students on a routine basis to facilitate their learning, change their learning objectives, and reshape their learning processes.

New worlds, or new areas in cyberspace, are being discovered and being applied to education at breakneck speed. The Internet, 3D graphics, QuickTime Movies, Quicktime VR and a multitude of new concepts and ideas are now being promoted on the internet and in leading educational journals throughout the world. It is a major undertaking just to keep abreast of this technological revolution, but the ideas and methods evolving are impacting education in ways no one could foresee just a year or two ago.

Simulations are creative, complete units of instruction that incorporate traditionally taught material into a simulated environment in the classroom - anything from a constitutional convention, to turn-of-the-century Ellis Island, to establishing an undersea habitat . Students are organized into small groups and role-play either actual persons or characterizations of persons in history...or in social, economic, or political situations of today...or explorations of their place in the future. Goals are set for individuals, as well as for the groups with which they work. The goal setting in conjunction with the competition with the other groups keep the students very involved in the learning.
