Classroom lessons at Bellport Middle School are being enhanced with the use of VR headsets on loan from the Eastern Suffolk BOCES School Library System.

During their library periods with Library Media Specialist Amanda Mason, students are taking virtual walks in volcanoes and swimming with megalodons using lessons preprogrammed on the VR headsets that correlate to what they are learning in class.

Prior to student use, teachers had the opportunity to try out the headsets and select virtual lessons for their students.

“The students are really enjoying the experience,” said teacher Dr. Lindsay Blaszcyk.
