My Take

This tool will change the way students are taught. They will be able to see and travel to locations they would otherwise have been unable to visit. With the advent of 360 degree video and photography the cardboard and associated app can be used as a classroom aid. This technology keeps the students engaged and excited while providing them with a visual on places they could only have imagined. My students can’t wait to use this technology, and are so focused.

How I Use It

I use Google Cardboard and app in conjunction with various novels students are reading. The app and the cardboard allow students to view the setting of the story in 3D just by looking through the cardboard. Even when a location is not specified, it wasn’t hard to figure out where the actual location for the novel was and take students on a virtual field trip to the setting.

Great tool!

I think it works great as teaching tool. Its easy to use and affordable. Two of my favorite things. I would highly suggest it for littler ones. However, if you easily get motion sick, I would not suggest partaking in this activity. I liked it other than the motion sickness part! It did what it was created to do and I could not have been more happier with the results. Everyone was completely engaged and had fun using the devices.

Great Interactive Virtual Reality!

I think that this project as a teaching tool is very effective. I liked the changing of scenes that take you to something completely different. This is not supplemental to my teaching it will serve as an aid for better understanding.
