Welcome Readers!
Today I will be discussing research on the use of virtual reality in classrooms and discuss how it can contribute to successful global collaborations! There is also a few apps that are used when remaining globally connected. For instance these may include Google expeditions, Google Earth Tours, and/or Google Lit Trips! So hang on tight while we explore through this reality!
VISUAL REALITY (VR)
ClassroomVR is a versatile platform using the power of Virtual and Augmented Reality for education and training from the classroom.

- Learning about virtual reality in the classroom has opened my eyes to a whole new perspective. It has amazed me to be able to continuously learn about new ways to use technology in our classrooms. We have learned over and over throughout this course that it is so important to keep children engaged and learning and globally technology has been the way! Now, learning about virtual reality I never want to turn back on my decision on becoming a teacher in the future. This is inspiring, and such a positive and fun way to do what you love with children of all ages.

THE APPS: There is also apps that can be considered useful for “virtual reality”.
Google Earth Tools – There are a few google mapping tools that can help you change the world and are virtually useful. For example, google maps, google street view, your builder, google earth, and more!
VISUAL TOURS: This was one example that I found very interesting and I hope you do too! Below is a video showing an example of what you can do when using google visual tours!
