Session Description:
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.)
