The use of virtual reality, or VR, in classrooms has become more and more common. It gives students the opportunity to broaden their experiences and look at the world around them through a different lens other than images online.

Google Cardboard is a fantastic option to use in the classroom. Viewers are decently priced, and you can find ones that hook up to any device in the classroom.

By downloading the Google Cardboard app, you can access Google Earth to take your students on trips around the world! A fun idea for a literature classroom is to have your students participate in a Google Lit Trip. Take your students to significant places in their stories. It’ll help them imagine that they are in the story themselves.
