Schools across the nation praise the Virtual Driving Essentials simulators for effectively teaching their students the critical skills essential to safe driving

EL DORADO HILLS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- National School Board Association Conference & Expo, Booth #1029, Denver, CO.—March 25-26, 2017—Virtual Driver Interactive, Inc. (VDI), the leading provider of simulation-based driver training solutions for commercial and education applications, today announced Virtual Driving Essentials™ will be on display at booth #1029 during the 77th Annual National School Board Association Conference & Expo at the Colorado Convention Center on March 25th and 26th.

The NSBA Annual Conference and Exposition is the one national event that brings together education leaders at a time when domestic policies and global trends are combining to shape the future of our students. More than 7,000 school board members, superintendents, and education leaders from across the country and around the globe will gain valuable knowledge and information in five key areas: Leadership, Advocacy, Technology + Learning, Urban school issues, and School law.

VDI will be showcasing Virtual Driving Essentials (Virtual DE), an immersive virtual learning experience designed to teach teen drivers the critical skills essential to safe driving. Virtual DE is not just a driving simulator, it is driver training and assessment program including revolutionary new features never seen before such as real-time violation tracking, a parental companion program, and pre and post assessment drives proving the mastery of the topics. Additionally, Virtual DE includes high-tech simulation features which reinforce teachable moments and allow students to learn and practice critical driving skills in a safe, controlled environment.

Many of the conference attendees have already implemented Virtual DE into their driver education curriculum: Alachua County Public Schools, Provo High School, Forsyth County, Natrona County School District and others.

"We installed 13 VDI simulators this summer and our high school students have truly enjoyed the upgraded experience,” said Charles J. Wise, Curriculum Supervisor, Alachua County Public Schools. “These simulators teach everything from how speeding affects the physics of the car to the serious dangers associated with distracted driving. The sixteen lesson Driving Essentials program wonderfully complements our driver education classroom and lab components. Driving simulation allows my instructors to teach important lessons - like speeding or texting - that would be too dangerous to demonstrate on the road. The One Simple Decision program powerfully tackles the problem of distracted or impaired driving with realistic and hard-hitting scenarios. Thank you again for providing such a useful and versatile driver education curriculum product. The installation could not have gone smoother. Your assistance throughout the procurement process and especially your "service after the sale" has been top notch. We are extremely pleased with our VDI purchase.”

“As motor vehicle crashes continue to be the leading cause of death for American teens, VDI is committed to improving driver safety training,” said Bob Davis, CEO & President of VDI. “We are excited to work with so many of NSBA’s attendees having our programs installed in numerous districts throughout the country.”
