Take a trip with Google Expeditions
Google Expeditions
Google Expeditions are a whole new kind of field trip using virtual reality. Whether you want to visit Mars, Africa, or a place you are studying, students can visit almost anywhere virtually. All you need is a $5 Google Cardboard, the Expeditions app for Apple or Android, and a smart phone. The phone fits into the Google Cardboard making it a 3D type trip. I have two Google Cardboards I can share.
No phone? No problem! Students can use Google Cardboard app or Google Street View app to take a virtual field trip. You can still see the pictures and all, you just don't experience the immersion.
I am still learning about Google Expeditions and all its capabilities, but it can help excite students about their learning. Learn more here and check out the video below.
