Abstract
As education enters a digitalized era, educators are embracing new tools such as immersive virtual reality (IVR) for K-12 teaching. Here, we examine the benefits of using IVR in K-12 education and highlight interesting existing use cases. Then, we acknowledge the lack of a framework for IVR use with children and propose key components that should be incorporated into such a framework. Additionally, we outline pressing topics and research questions that are essential to advance the field. We conclude that, although IVR holds great promises for shaping the digital future of education, there are still several challenges to consider.
