With the sunsetting of Google Expeditions and apps like Google Poly, how can we continue to place the power of virtual reality into the hands of students? What if learners could create virtual reality projects to experience our state, local and national parks as well as historical sites? Join NCCAT to collect digital artifacts at sites near NCCAT’s campus on self-selected field trips using your smartphone, iPad and free apps. Together, we will create virtual reality projects that foster engagement, critical thinking, and creativity, and engender something unique to this instructional strategy: empathy and a connection to the beauty and history of our state. These interdisciplinary VR experiences will be aligned to your learning objectives and can be used immediately with your students leveraging the technology you may already have in your classrooms and media centers, like Google Cardboard, goggles, or a simple link. This program is designed for K-12 educators, school counselors and anyone eager to take learners on adventures.
