Today's children live immersed in the digital environment and build in this environment connections, both social connections and connections with their fields of interest. The classroom could be that submarine that students sail safely in the ever-deeper waters of digital technology and the Internet and that will lead students on the fascinating journey of knowledge. How prepared are teachers and parents to be children's guides? The aim of this paper is to identify the availability of teachers who teach in primary education and parents who have children enrolled at this level on the use of virtual reality in education, more precisely in the instructional-educational process. The research findings support both the positive opinions of teachers and parents regarding the use of virtual reality in education, and their willingness to integrate this type of technology in the instructional-educational process.
