Part 2: Creating Virtual Reality for Teachers and Students
K - 12Michael Fricano II Part 1: Have you been blown away by Google Cardboard yet? This amazingly simple, yet versatile, tool can immerse your students in virtual reality experiences like none other. This session is meant to be a fun exploration of Google Cardboard. We’ll play with a handful of great apps and discuss ways in which this great new tool can be used in the classroom.

Part 2: One of the most powerful uses of virtual reality content are VR field trips! You can take your students anywhere in the world (and even into space and the human body)! But what if you could help your students create their own VR field trips for other classes around the world? The new Thinglink VR Editor for classrooms is one of the easiest and most effective tools that empower students to take control of their own learning while creating quality VR content that can be shared with the world. We’ll take a look at some exemplary student samples and you’ll learn how you can use Google apps and the Thinglink VR Editor in your classroom on day one! (Thinglink is a paid tool, but the best on the market! Receive a discount code for attending.)
