it was a fun experience to do & watch, i never seen anything like it & it was incredible thing to do & wish to do it again. The way it impress me the most was how all the things you get to see & see something from a other place in the world besides the united states.The thing i didn't like was when i was using the the product was you have to move around but it was still fun to do.The thing i learned from the field trip was that where the statue was located & what people lived in Brazil & how beautiful it was. if i did have a other opportunity to do it again i would. it was cool how you can zoom in & out of the picture to see it more better.

To be honest, i did not know what to expect because i was quite new to this type of concept, in person at least. Although I had seen these types of things on anime, I didn’t think that it could become a reality. When using the google box, I was quite impress with how the panoramic image moves as i twist and turned my head in several different locations. When visiting Rio on the virtual trip, I learned that the most dominant religion in the region was Catholicism because of the giant statue of Jesus, I also learned that the people of Rio rely quite heavily on their surroundings for a variety of things due to the vast plant life.

If I was given the opportunity to experience this again, I would definitely say yes because just by viewing an area, you learn a lot about it; and i like to learn new things. Although my virtual experience was quite a reality, the google box has some pros and cons when it comes to using it. The pros to the expedition are that we get an aerial view of the area and that when it comes to targeting things that we want to look at, an arrow automatically points to at. However, wherever there are pros, there are cons, the cons to the google box were that the headsets were made of cheap material that were high in quality, along with that when viewing the panoramic image we couldn’t zoom in as much as we wanted, not only that, but when you would zoom in the image would become a little pixelated and you couldn’t get a detailed image of a certain area.

The virtual field trip was more than what I expected. As I was on the field trip I was stunned by all the amazing sites I was seeing. But what impressed me the most was the fact I felt like I was actually in Brazil, Rio! When my teacher showed us the monument of Jesus, in Rio it seemed as if I could actually touch it.

I learned that there are several beaches with in miles of each other. I also learned that they have a wall similar to the great wall in china. I wish I could have the opportunity to do another virtual field like this. I feel very lucky to have been apart of it

I've experienced the field trip on last Friday.It was greate and surprised up on what I was expected. At first, I did'nt feel any excited but after the teacher let me put the glasses on, I was impressed though. There were a real view from the top that was where I located at and most thing that made I felt pleasant as everything is viewed with 360 degree. During the trip, I could see many beautiful regions, such as the blue beach, capital of the city, green bulding , and the fresh park.Their architectures are georgous that I think that each place has particularly different treasure in their countries.

If I had another opportunity to experience this again, I'd participate to open my mind about other countries.The more you know, the better to make your life meaningful. In my opinion, this experience is good because I've seen a lot of places that I've never been before, I can learn more about archetectures in Rio Brazil. However, after, the google box gave me a little dizziness as taking it off.

The Virtual field trip was up to my expectations.The thing that impressed me the most was how we can look all around and it followed.The thing that impressed me the least was that you can move around to go deeper and see more things.I learned that they have a lot of bulidings and hardly no land. Also how the statue of Jesus meant that he was blessing the land. If I had the opportunity to do this again I will participate from start to finish.The pors of this experience is that is a free way to get to see another country/State.The cons of this experience is that you can move anywhere somebody else leads you to that direction and you can see the things you want to see they pick the things you can see.

The virtual field trip was up to expectations and i enojoyed the virtual field trip. The most thing that impressed me the most is that jesus statue and the green building and the city shown at night time. and i liked that you could zoom in and out to get a better view of things that were shown on the things in the glasses. The least thing i liked the most was the map of the beach that wasn't really impressing and i thought it was just plain and boring. But the other stuff on the virtual field trip is cool.

I learned that culture is very different from America. The architecture is very different from what i've had saw before in my life its real neat and nice. Yes i would like to participate in the activity again its really cool to learn about the culture and the different archeticure of the city and the country. The pros of this that its a good place to travel to and to relax and take a vacation with your family. The cons is that you don't kno whats out there and you don't know what the people are cable of.

To me the virtual feild trip was beyond expectations and I liked it ,the thing that impressed me the most was the jesus statute,and the least was the bridge.

From the region,culture,and architecture ive learned that they do things a lot different from how close their buildings are,how they respect their religion,and just their wa yof life. If I was givin this opportunity I would defintely go again. To me the pros and cons are how far it is and not knowing whats over their then again its a nice place to go relax and enjoy yourself

1. Not really, the reason why is because the equipment that was used for the fieldtrip were rather simple and mundane and just used a phone combined with cardboard and used magnifying glasses as lens on 2 screens to get the eyes of a human to convert them into 1 "screen".

2. What impressed me most was the statue of christ the redeemer; i mean how did they make it stand.

3.I learned nothing new really as i already have seen the land of brazil and i am unsuprised by the differences of other cultures in other countries

4. Sure i just hope the equipment advances more quickly

5. The pros are students are more likely to initiate and learn because of the technology involved the cons are the low quality of the equipment used to make the experience

The virtual field trip was as expected; a virtual field trip. The trip to Rio De Jinero, Brazil impressed me by us having an aerial view, which is much better than any other field trip we couldve taken by bus. It least impressed me by the lenses that were on the google box. they hurt your eyes after peering through them for an extended amount of time. I've learned that Rio has many of architectural amazements such as the "Christ the Redeemer" statue and their "el Paso" church that shows their mayan influence. If given the opporotunity, i would definitely visit Brazil in hopes to have my expectations well exceeded.

The overall pros of this virtual field trip are the lenses, not being able to move around at will (by that i mean move around the area not just view around), and i've noticed a ring of oil arounf the nose slot from previous students. If you could change those, it would be perfect. The pros of this virtual expedition are the aerial view, the area chosen, and being able to see a different culture. In conclusion, the google virtual field trip exceeded my expectations.

The virtual field trip was up to expectations because the way it was described to me in person was the same way i was able to look through the google box and imagine that i was on brazil island or in rio .

What i was impressed the most by was the diffrent beaches , the jesus statue in rio , and all the diffrent types of buldings . What i learn from the region, culture, and architecture that is diffrent from what i seen in my life time are all the diffrent types of buldings and how they looked so creative from the buildings in the United States .All the diifrent tyoe of beaches , ilsands , houses .

If i was given the oppertunity to experience this again i would participate in it again because it was fun and adventrous i also got to see different regions & cultures.

it was very a very educated and beautiful experience

The virtual fieldtrip to Brazil was up to expectations . I was impressed the most by the way that everywhere i looked it was something different. Brazil have some pretty/nice beaches.

What i learned from Brazil is that they are pretty far from us. They have alot of roads and alot of buildings. If there was another opportunity to experience this again i would definitly participate in it, why? beacuse i would like to see another country. The pros of this experience is that is a free way to get to see another country/State.The cons of this experience is that you can move anywhere somebody else leads you to that direction and you can see the things you want to see they pick the things you can see.

The virtual field trip was not up to my expecatations because i thought it would be dull and boring, but when i experienced it i had fun and it was really exciting. What impressed me thge most was when i loked through the box i felt like i was actually there looking down on the statue, the beach, and the other places i visited. I learned about the different places in Rio and the statue that symbolizes there country. If we ever did the virtual field trip again i would particpate because it was fun to experience looking through a box at a country. The pros about the virtual field trip was that that it felt like i was actually there and i got to know more about the country. The cons was that looking through it kinda made me feel sick and dizzy.

i had fun using the google box it was something new for me to experience.

The virtual field trip was great and all, but it didn't reach my expectation. What I was really looking forward to was something like the oculus rift where I was able to move around the place. Anyway, the adventure was fuin atleast. I was impressed by the High Quality of the screen, but the appearance of the device was odd.

I've learned that their region is very different from ours. The city is very mountainous and is close to the shores. I would experience something like this again, because it was a fun adventure for the most. The virtutal field trip might not have been the best, but it was good enough. It could use a little upgrade and other stuff

The virtual filed trip was a exciting first expiernce and it was may more than my expectations. However, the thing i least like was how it was a little burly and would mess with your eyes and i was not the only person who would agree.

Also i learned how beautiful Rio was and the differnt places such as, beaches, islands, parks and etc. If this expiernce was to come back to my school i would be the first to sign up. The good things about this was we got to learn and see a place as if we were there and its something like no other. The bad things was that it was burly and that was really all.

The virtual reality almost lived up to my expectations. I got to experience a place I've never been in the comfort of.. the library? The main point is that I didn't have to go on an airplane to see such a wonderful place, though it would be nice. I could tell how religious the people of Rio de Jinero, Brazil were by the statue that over looked the city, even their churches were magnificent, they were beautiful, I never thought I'd be able to see it. Their vast beaches and clear water was amazing, as well as their building and roads.

What impressed me the most had to have been seeing such wonderful sight. Though, I wished it wasn't as blurry as it was. I'd loved to see them cleaer than what my eyes saw. Pros and cons; pros were being able to move my head around and see what was shown. Sadly to say, I have many cons to go along with this experience. As I've said before, it was very blurry, and I had to keep adjusting it to get a clearer view, but it was never clear enough, whenever I tried to zoom in it wouldn't let me, I actually ended up switching the.. googles? Whatever you call them. For some of them, the images seemed too far, I would've liked to get a closer look.

This is way ahead of what you guys are doing, but in the future, I think it'd be awesome if we were able to walk the streets, so, technically, we'd actually be there. Those come with their own fair share of problems, but I'd like to see something like it.

I would absolutely like to experience this again! I remeber seeing so much stuff on the lists of places you can go, I'd want to se so much since so many caught my attention, if I got the chance to use it again, I'd definately ask if you have Japan, since I actually plan on going there sometime in the future, the list could go on and on, so of course I'd use it again if I got the chance to! Ahh, sorry, I got off track by talking about myself. Anyways, I really do like what you guys are doing, it'll help a lot of people get a feel for places they want to experiennce in the future. Good work!

The virtual tour in my perspective was super interesting. It was so cool to be able to feel like that i was actually there with them. It felt like i was floating in the air looking down into the city. it was defiantly everything i expect it to be and even more. The most interesting thing to me about the virtual tour was that we could zoom in and get closer , when i was looking at the statue i zoomed in and i could literally see every little detail in the statue and it made me feel like i was actually there. i learned so many diffrent things from the virtual field trip , it was cool to look at the architecture the beaches etc, everything there was just so beautiful. If someone offered for me to be able to do this again i defianly would take the time out of my day to participate, the only thing that i really disliked about it was the fact of when you looked to long it started to give you a headache and it would make your eyes hurt. The pros of this field trip was literally everything the diffrent strutures of brasil it looks so diffrent then over here it seems more layed back and chill, the cons is only that it would hurt your eyes if you looked too long inside of it. overall i am very pleased with the field trip and i really hope that we can do it again!

The virtual field that was on last Friday was held up its expectations to me, it made feel like i was actuaaly fly over Rio. The whole idead of using a cellphone to see a foreign country wa really cool. What I liked about the field trip was all the different places we saw. Being able to get a close view of them was really exciting and made wish i was living there. I was also impressed by how when I turned around, i could see all the surrounding places that the main objective had around it. However, the zoom button wasn't able to zoom in more to get better views of far places. I learned that Rio's culture is revolved around christianity, mainly because of the statue of Jesus christ, the architexture has a spanish influence added to the mix ehich made the building seem very eligant. The region in general is surround by dense forest and the coast line.

If had the opportunity to do this field trip again, I would most definitly say yes. This filed trip gave the experiance of a foreign country without haing to actually travel to the country. This way you can see if you really what to go to that country and see some attrations that you can visit. The cons of this experiance is that some people who ddn't have phones can't do this experiance at home. Plus I really do't know if it's possibley to do this at home. All in all, the field trip was awesome, I would love to do it again.

On Friday afternoon, my class took a virtual field trip to Brazil. The virtual field trip was up to my expectations. I was most impressed by the fact that no matter where I looked it was something new. It made me feel as if I was there. I really liked that when I looked down it was as if I was stepping on the land. I was least impressed by the fact that the phone kept slipping out. Given the opportunity, I would do it again but go to a different place.

I learned that though they are very far away from us, they have similar ways of living. They have large buildings and lots of roads, just like us. The culture is a bit more extreme, I'm assuming. I came to this conclusion due to the fact they have a large Jesus statue peering over them. It is different because i have never seen anything like it. The pros as previously discussed include: feeling like i was there and getting an experience to visit such a beautiful place. The cons include: not being able to actually visit, the fact that the phone continued to slip out, and the arrow constantly suggesting I view a certain place. Overall, it was a spectacular experience.

The virtual filed trip that we took friday was higher then the expectations that was set for it. It made me actaully want to vest Rio! I was si impressed on how it was so real, i felt like i was there the whole time. there culture is very vibrant, and there architecture was very detailed.

If i had the chance to experience the trip again, i would. It wasnt any bad things at all. Although i didnt like the fact that i had to hold it the whole time. I wish it wouldve been straps to strap it on our head. The goods things were that it felt so real and it gave you a feeling that you were there and experiencing everything that was going on in r

rio

The virtual field trip was far beyond my expectations it was very realistic. What impressed me the most was how real it looked, it looked like i was actually there. I learned how there houses are like buildings and i didnt know that the Jesus monument was going to be so big. In the United States the only houses that look like buildings are condos and highrises.Yes I would want to do this experience again because it gives me a chance to experience a place I never been before. The pros of this was just about everything, from the Jesus monument to the beautiful beaches , it all was great. The only con to this is not being able to see further, it limited our access to see more of the wonderful cities.
