For this week’s blog post, I examined Youtube 360 and its contribution to global collaborations. I did not realize how many Youtube videos have the 360 feature. After sifting through videos, I came across Odyssey Visual Media. On this channel, they explore nature, cities, and historical sites. Not all of their content is 360, but there is a good amount to choose from. One video walks the viewer through the Luxor Ruins in Egypt while another offers a tour around “Little Edo” Japan. And with one more button click, we can see Zócalo in Mexico City.

Youtube 360 can help connect our classrooms globally by letting students virtually explore places they otherwise would not have the opportunity to. I find that the cities are more similar than we previously perceived and this feature is a neat way to break that ice. I would use this in the classroom to compare ancient and modern cities by finding 360 videos. I really like Youtube 360. I spent at least two hours watching different historical videos.
