2 . It was a February afternoon in a Brooklyn classroom. Sixteen-year-old Taylor Engler came face to face with a cow. But it was all in her head. She was transported by a virtual reality (VR) headphone. It took the Berkeley Carroll School junior and eight other classmates to a northern New York farm. The farm was 250 miles away. For students, the technology means field trips are no longer kept within the length of a bus ride.
It's unknown how many classrooms have or will use the technology, but experts say few classrooms do or will do. Headphones that require a user's phone can cost as little as $20 or $30, but systems and software for classes run into thousands of dollars. The problem of not having good software is disappearing as more companies enter the market. But the rules for use haven't kept abreast of the development of the technology. In New York, for example, virtual reality lab experiments are not included in the state's hands-on lab time requirements.
Experts say science classes are where virtual reality holds promise for classrooms. “The biggest problem, I think, is going to be how closely it mimics the real world." That's according to David Evans, the director of the National Science Teachers Union. However, he said, “The ability to do dangerous things and to run many, many more cases in a virtual space as opposed to the real physical space stands for a huge learning chance.”
Lamb taught chemistry and he agreed. “Too often in schools, when you do experiments in labs, you mix these together, you mix those together and you get this result. And if you don't get that result, you have done something wrong. But we don't have enough resources for you to redo it, “he said. “In virtual reality, all I do is hit reset on the computer. I don't have to actually use chemicals.”

![]() | The Battle at Lake Changiin is a historical epic jointly directed by three top directors-Chen Kaige, Hark Tsui and Dante Lam. The film is this year's second-biggest earner so far, both in China and globally, following the domestic comedy Hi, Mom. Set during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea(1950-1953)and starring Wu Jing and Jackson Yee, the movie tells the story of the Chinese People's Volunteers fighting bravely in freezing temperatures in a key campaign at Lake Changjin, or Chosin Reservoir. |

The best-moving film was released in North America, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Britain, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Colombia and several other countries and regions, according to Ruyi Films, one of the producers. Hi, Mom, widely considered as the top dark horse thanks to its moving plot of mother-daughter affection, has earned 1.7 billion yuan in rising to the second slot. |

10 . “The Last Dance”, the documentary (纪录片), told the story of Michael Jordan and his success with the Chicago Bulls .We learned a lot about Michael Jordan.We took behind - the - scenes glimpses (一瞥) at what it’s like to compete in the NBA .We were given a glimpse into the 90s basketball era (时代) at a time when almost no sports are being played .But it also meant something for our culture, experts say.
Dr.Josh Shuart, the director of sport management at the Jack Welch College of Business & Technology at Sacred Heart University (Connecticut), told the Deseret News that the documentary showed something important for our modern society.Watching “The Last Dance” gave us something to look forward to during a time when there’s nothing else going on, he said.“Why is it important and why did people watch it? The latter is simple: with the absence of live sports of any kind, it was probably the single most interesting thing on TV,” Shuart said in an email to the Deseret News.
Michael Jordan matters for sports culture, too.Jordan set the standard when it came to connecting sportsmen to brands (品牌) and brands to sportsmen .Sportsmen can take care of their brand during their careers (职业生涯) and even after they stop doing sports .Shaquille O ' Neal is an example, Shuart said.The Los Angeles Lakers star - though highly celebrated for his basketball career一has built post-basketball success through business chances .
There might not have been too much new content in “The Last Dance” for sports fans who grew up in the Jordan era.But storytelling still provides a way for us to find happiness, Shuart said.
“Above all, even though we know the beginning, middle, and end, the storytelling provides wonderful insight and results in a very interesting story,” he said.
