YouTube 360 is a great tool that can contribute greatly to successful global collaborations now and in the future as the technology continues to improve. With the YouTube 360 tool you can use things similar to google maps to visit places and collaborate with classes all over the world. You could take your class to the school you are collaborating with that could be a thousand miles away. Or you could have a joint field trip that sends you up into space with another class that you are communicating with across the globe. The videos down below are some examples of what global collaboration can be like with YouTube 360 as it continues to evolve as a piece of technology. For the tour of space and tour of the ocean students can work with their own class and go into this VR to meet another school. Where they go through the ocean tour together and work together to find different animals, plants, and places in the oceans. It could be like a online multiplayer scavenger hunt type game in the ocean that can be played with different classes around the world. The space game can be the same thing except identifying the planets, the moons of these planets, stars, and constellations. Your students can work with other classes around the globe to figure out which of these are which and they can work to get the highest score or receive a prize for how well they do in the game with YouTube 360. I think it will be such a great tool to use in the future and there are so many possibilities of involving this global collaboration within YouTube 360. You can also use the tsunami video to learn about the phenomenon while playing a fun interactive game to try to escape the natural disaster with people around the globe. Working together and trying to stay alive with people from around the world. There are so many different ways to learn about so many different things with YouTube 360 and ways in which we can collaborate with others around the globe. I can only see this technology growing tremendously in the coming years and it being further integrated into schools across the globe.
