Google Comes to Royal Oak High School!
ROMS applied to be part of the expeditions and when I heard I applied as well. Google was super quick to get back with me! I applied in the morning and heard early afternoon. We could only be part of the event if there was a schedule made with 18 unique classes by the next day. There was a bit of a scramble, but I found willing, risk-taking participants that afternoon and made a schedule.
We had some technical difficulties, but for those that experienced the whole expedition, I think they found it beneficial. Students were able to see 360 views of biomes, national parks, London, the moon, career expeditions, and Holy Jerusalem. Being an IB school I can see a lot of benefits to these virtual field trips. Can't wait to see more of these expeditions! Hopefully they will be interactive.

INFO // NEWS // UPDATES
The LC Lab has changed over to a chromebook lab. Chromebooks should be:
- checked in by the teacher to ensure they are all accounted for. Please stand by the cart and monitor students putting them back. Your presence is a reminder to them that they need to put them back correctly.
- plugged in so they are charged for the next teacher
- placed in so the plug faces out to quickly see they are charging
209 and 211 are now two full labs.
