Exploring the World Through VR

     In today's globally connected world, K–12 students can communicate, collaborate, and co-create with peers from anywhere on the planet. However, what if we took it up a notch. I will explore how VR can enhance global collaboration within classrooms. I will be focusing on Neared VR and Youtube 360°

    Nearpod VR offers ready-made virtual reality lessons that let students take guided field trips using any device, no expensive headsets required. 

Across the globe, students can be in the same class from different countries or cities. For example, U.S. students and students in Kenya can both experience 360° tour of the Great Rift Valley. Afterwards students can share their thoughts of their field trip. As well as comparing it to their country. 

    In my opinion, I believe this a great idea. I believe it will definitely make learning a bit more fun. Especially to children that learn best by interacting with the lesson. Instead of children listening, they can be part of the lesson and that way they won't space out and lost track of the lesson.
