One way to bring abstract concepts to life in your classroom is using Google Cardboard Glassess! These cardboard glasses enables students and teachers to take virtual field trips around the world! Google Cardboard is compatible with the 360 degree videos that make you feel as if you are there. This allows your students to be emerged in the virtual world, and become critical thinkers as they explore things and places they never imagined was possible in their own classroom!
There are also many other different ways to use these glasses, other than virtual field trips. These glasses allow endless communication among the teacher and students. Simply asking the students to observe what they see allows them to dive in to what their viewing and spark many different conversations. Having the students keep up with a travel journal is a great way for students to collaborate and become creative in their role as travelers or investigators. These glasses can be used with simulations, observations, and any interactive video made for Google cardboard glasses!
The possibilities for these Google Cardboard Glasses are endless. In most cases, the instructor has complete control over what the students are exploring. There are apps that support conversation starters, or quality question stems throughout the simulation. This can be controlled by the instructor, or be released to the students to go at their own pace. These glasses can become incorporated across the spectrum, which makes them very handy to have. These glasses embody a 21st century classroom. These glasses can be incorporated into every grade level, among any subject. These glasses explore science and body simulation, geography, history, and even museums of all kinds. Simply search for any topic or place that best fit your learning objectives.
