RE: EDUCATION SERIES #3: Game-Based Learning - All Study And No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy
Game based learning might not require high tech apps or devices...but it wouldn't hurt none would it?
In my books I deal with that extensively (in some of them, not all). What might happen if children were taught by playing games in virtual reality?
Heard about Second Life?

Google Expeditions provide schools and students a way to explore the world through VR.

As a tech enthusiast, I do believe VR has a significant role in the field of education. Students get to experience learning in a virtual environment like medicine, for example. VR-simulated surgeries allow an almost-real learning environment; or flying an aircraft or space travels. VR will be the most exciting thing to happen in education.
