Essay Exhibit Reflection- Cassie Lewis

One topic that I found interesting was Virtual Reality in Job Training. I found this topic interesting because it was very similar to my own topic. It is also a practical issue that will be used more often in the future. I did not realize that virtual reality could train doctors for surgeries allowing them to become familiar with different techniques before preforming the actual surgery. I believe that learning before preforming is important because it could lead to fewer mistakes in. I was also shocked by how many huge companies use virtual reality every day. Advances in technology such as VR will significantly help the medical world.

Another topic that was interesting was Gamification of Learning. Using video games as a teaching tool in the education system is fascinating because it shows how much technology has grown. Video games are often seen as bad because they are called distracting and a waste of time, but in this sense they are productive and educational. With technology continuing to grow, tools such as video games are going to reappear in the educational system which is why this presentation was relevant and important.  I believe it is also vital that we incorporate things that kids enjoy into learning to make them interesting for kids to learn, which is why video games are great tools for education.


Overall, I believe that the essay exhibit was a good way to get our peers opinions about our projects. Getting feedback on your work is always beneficial, and the exhibit made it more fun than just doing a peer review. It is also interesting to see what others papers are on and learn about topics that interest them. The essay exhibit had a positive impact on my final essay.
