Social virtual reality (social VR) is transforming education by integrating immersive technology with real-time collaboration in shared virtual spaces. Unlike traditional VR, social VR supports social constructivism through dynamic interactions, allowing students to engage in both verbal and non-verbal communication, fostering deeper connections and enhancing learning outcomes. This paper examines the pedagogical applications of social VR, highlighting how it encourages collaboration, active learning, and inclusivity. Key topics include the pedagogical uses, the perception of avatars in shaping identity and interaction, emerging trends like AI-driven personalization, exploring social VR, and future advancements in social VR. This paper discusses examples from ongoing projects to potential developments for classroom use at all levels.
