This paper explores the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in classroom settings, highlighting their potential to transform education. By creating immersive and interactive learning environments, VR and AR enhance student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. The key differences between VR and AR, including their applications and strengths, are discussed. The benefits, such as improved learning outcomes and enhanced engagement, are contrasted with challenges like cost, accessibility, and technical competency. Case studies exemplify successful implementations, while future trends suggest a significant impact on educational technology. The conclusion underscores the transformative potential of VR and AR in education, despite existing barriers.
