Right so I showed the LRC tech the google card board and how to use it. She saw it as really cool but was very worried about phones coming out of the box. So what we did was put tape up on the sides and it was really cool.

Showed both LRC techs at King and Windemere and the tech coordinator at King. Were planning on presenting them at Windemere to staff

Loves the Google Cardboard showed kids a Roller coaster, Deep sea Diving with Turtles and an erupting volcano. Students had great questions about if it would work with their phones and and names a the apps I was using. Teachers, and Staff members are giving a lot of positive feed back on this and are ready for it to be distributed to the schools.  For some of the students that may have never been out of the State and maybe the City tend to want to visit abroad, in other countries and also Space.
P.S Finally got it to work on my phone so more feed back from me will be coming, but Leggett is ready for it.

I got allot of positive feedback at Schumacher. however I have noticed that several have the lenses in backwards. One of the social studies teacher wants to use it on her projector first then graduate to her students using it

First time didn't go so well. Went to a teacher's room to address an issue with her PC. Told her about the GCB, then set it down to fix the printer problem. Teacher picked up the device before i could show her anything. phone slid out the side and crashed to the floor, cracking the screen. yay...

Decided to give a second go yesterday with students who were using my lab. Two complained it gave them headaches. One liked it enough to try to bribe me into letting him have it. I'd downloaded a space flight game called Vanguard V, which was pretty fun.

I showed Google Cardboard to my three MD teacher at Innes, Mr. Grewell, Mrs. Nedolast, and Mrs. Pierson, they all enjoyed it and can't wait to use it with their students. I also showed virtual reality reader to Mrs. Cusma but found out she took a 2 hour options class on Google Cardboard. I explored the Mountains with Mr. Butler, I even visit Mexico with the Spanish teacher Mrs. Vandersommers, and myself and Mrs. McClain tried to explore Haiti but it would not come up so we just took a ride on the roller coaster.

Everyone I showed this to were impressed with it.  They see it as a great way to get students engaged.  It's a way for students to explore places that they may never get to.  However, one concern is having enough material to keep them engaged.  Once the wow factor is gone it will be important to have enough subject matter to keep them engaged.  The librarian is more interested in having students on the creative end of virtual reality.  Other concerns are apps taking up space on phones, data usage when virtual resources on sites are blocked by the district.  Also some (like me) are bothered by motion.  Nobody I showed it to were able to get thru the entire roller coaster ride. - Mark Jatich

I showed the construction teacher how it works and a couple places in Street View. I have not been able to find the sort of things I have been looking for though.

Showed it to some teachers at Barber. They said it's really cool you can go and see places while still in the classroom. They like it a lot cause it's really interactive. The only thing they worry about is not having enough devices for it or having to be careful so they don't break the device.

Me and the LRC tech and the french teacher had a discussion about the use of them in an elementary setting, they both agreed that students might not have a device to use with the cardboard or parents might raise objections to them using their phone if they do have one.

I showed Google cardboard to my specials teachers at Hatton and they had fun and thought it was cool, but they asked how will this be used in the classroom and what do students do when they don't have smartphones?

Interesting and Fun for the whole classroom

Students loved it. Teacher loved it. Math and science teachers are not sure though how to utilize in their classroom.

Showed it off a little bit at King. Some of the teachers were impressed about it. Discussed with the LRC tech at Windemere. Is going to sit down with her to do a possible training.

I showed it to a few of the teachers here. Mainly they said that it would get used as a virtual field trip to places they could not take students. Some teachers said that it looked interesting but did not see the benefits of it. The ones that liked it wanted to see more. I explained that there are different apps that can be used with it.

I showed off the cardboard to both staff and students here at STEM. The staff was impressed with what you could do with it and were very interested in creating their own adventures in Google Expeditions. I also showed the after school computer club and they found all the videos fun. One of the students has already started creating his own.

Between myself and the librarian we have been showing off the cardboards to all kinds of staff and students that pass through the LRC. It all starts with curiosity when another sees someone using it and wants to try. Showed one of the assistant principals and she was like that is so cool. It looked like it blew her mind.

One teacher suggested doing virtual field trips and then writing a paper on it.
The feedback overall was positive.

Many of the teachers have seen this at Jennings. Showed to a few teachers at Litchfield and the liked it. They were concerned about using the students phone in the device. Did show to the 4 grandkids over the weekend. They LOVED it. The 3 year old actually fell over while on the roller coaster ride.

I showed some teachers at Portage Path.  They thought is was really neat.  I also showed some students and they were impressed.  One kid said you could buy viewers at 5 Below for $5.
They thought it was cool to stand in front of the Pyramids in Egypt while still standing in their classroom.

On a side note, I took it home to show my mother. She loved it so much she bought her own viewer online. She's a geek.  ;)

I showed Google cardboard to practically all the teachers here at Garfield. They found it interesting and exciting! One asked how you stick in a different slide, before I explained it was my phone. Another teacher seemed interested in using these for virtual field trips and I saw her browsing online, looking for how to purchase some for herself. I was also asked if teachers can order these through the warehouse ?!?

... along with others.

Everyone was impressed with the technology.  Mrs. Green-Palotta said that a set of Cardboard viewers had been ordered for AAA.  They were particularly excited for use in Science and Social Studies classes.  One teacher asked if there were plays available to be viewed via Cardboard for ELA.

An objection raised was that students have to supply their own devices and download the apps on their own.  Several teachers wondered if the students and parents were savvy enough to make sure that they were downloading the apps over wifi, instead of eating up their cellular data allowance. The thought was that some parents might come after the district if they incurred overages. I did mention that the applications will EVENTUALLY be able to be downloaded over the APS wifi network.

Current policy restricts the use of cell phones during class. There were questions whether use of Cardboard might lead to a reduction of discipline regarding usage during other times.

Some teachers wondered if they were supposed to use their own phones if the student did not have one to use. Given the environment at AAA, they were reluctant to do that. A suggestion was that the district procure a supply of iPod
Touches for this application. (Which kind of defeats the purpose of Cardboard as a cheap solution.)

Another observation is that the devices supplied by the students were likely to be damaged in some way. Cracked screens would have a major impact
on the ability to effectively use the viewer.

All the teachers mentioned the side-effect of motion sickness.

One teacher was concerned about the radio emissions from the device and worried that we are all getting cancer from using cell phones for too long so close to our brains. ?!?!

So, the teachers were excited by the possibilities, but did raise some objections.

Showed to a few teachers from different subjects. Everyone seems to love the idea, especially being able to travel from the classroom. The same question came up every time about what to do with students that do not have access to smartphones.
I have also showed one or two additional teacher google expeditions, which is a nifty app I have come across. Might be worth looking into.

Showed a couple of teachers, a few students, and a parent after school today.  All of them seemed to be really impressed with it.
