Google cardboard glasses

Google cardboard glasses enable students and teachers to go on amazing adventures while being completely immersed in the content.  Teachers have complete control over the content being explored while the students have their hands on learning experiences. Teachers are able to create lessons that will help students make lifelong memories in the classroom.  The cardboard glasses help the students watch a 360 video and feel like you are in the video or at the place.  This is the first piece of technology to bridge the gap and help the students explore new places.  The students go on virtual field trips all around the world no matter where they want to go.  The videos are made from google street view.  While the students are viewing the video the teacher can guide the students throughout the video.  The teacher can use her iPad to point the students in the direction on what they are talking about or studying at that time.  The glasses cost from $5 to $15 but there are ways to make one on your own.  This uses the same technology as virtual reality technology.  The only problem with it is that it is a single use experience.  The students can use old smart phones or old devices so the cost will stay down.  This is a great way to explain culture and religion from the classroom.  The students can view anything from all around the world.  They can go on a trip without leaving their desk.  The videos can be found on YouTube.  This could be great for students with autism because it will take them to a place they might be going and they will know what it looks like before they get there.  Some apps are expeditions, nytvr, sketchfab, google street view, titans of space, inmind vr, orbulus.
