Ruth Ling Wang Ling, Teacher, SK Seri Bayu, Bestari Coordinator for Mathematics​​

I was lucky to be exposed to this tool by the EdTech team from LeapEd in 2018 as the use of gadgets like this VR tool is an innovation that can fulfil aspects of 21st century learning particularly visual learning. This is especially beneficial for students who have visual learning styles. For example, when I teach Mathematics, I integrate the use of VR Cardboard in discussions on height. Pupils were given the opportunity to see with their own eyes the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai which caused them much excitement. Through this experience, the concept of length measurements can be applied more easily, especially in comparison between units (i.e. km, m, cm and mm). This tool has directly impacted the students and encouraged them to want to learn. Since the introduction of the VR Cardboard at SK Seri Bayu, the school has taken the initiative to become a pioneer in the Manjung District to introduce the technology tool 4.0 (VR Cardboard) to schools both locally or nationally. Integration of VR Cardboard in PdPc is often presented during benchmarking visits and also through digital classroom workshops.
