https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu What VR content did you experience today? After what you experienced and watching others, how do you think this type of technology can be best integrated into a classroom environment? en-us 2017-10-23 22:17:46 UTC 2025-11-25 11:21:18 UTC hello@padlet.com thermann https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu/wish/200065783 I teach 2nd grade so I can see me using the Google Earth VR the most since the curriculum is very advanced for the other apps available. However, the 3rd grade could do the planets, and other human body VR lessons. I would want to take more time to see if there are ways to show like germs on the body or something more age appropriate. Can you direct what the students see? I liked the art app for exploration. I can see a use for this app in 2nd grade]]> 2017-10-24 16:04:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu/wish/200065783 https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu/wish/200066716 I also teach 2nd and could see myself using the Google Earth VR to teach about continents, volcanoes, earthquakes, etc. This would be great to investigate different locations that we might read about in our science/S.S./ELA text.

The anatomy of the eye is exactly what I wanted the expeditions VR experience to eventually move towards. Seeing the structures from all angles and having it come with outlined definitions and other pieces of info. The journey was awesome in that it puts them on a journey rather than staying stagnant. It would be nice if you could start a lesson with the outlining of the content and then follow up with a journey.

countries, oceans, Great Lakes, major rivers, and mountain ranges.

As far as Google Earth, I think that using the VR headsets class wide is a more economical choice, because everyone can experience at the same time. ]]> 2017-10-24 16:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu/wish/200071948 https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu/wish/200076306 I can see many ways that this can be integrated into classrooms to help enhance content. Google Earth looks really beneficial, I could see it truly taking kids through the experience of the locations that they learn about. I would like to brainstorm ways that this could work with a full classroom in order to keep the time meaningful for the students that are not wearing the VR.]]> 2017-10-24 16:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu/wish/200076306 https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu/wish/200084921 I think that the Vive could provide a high level of engagement and support science and social studies standards in the classroom. However, I am not sure how this would work with 34+ students in one class. ]]> 2017-10-24 16:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu/wish/200084921 https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu/wish/200093309 Techie Kinders would love the art app! I created a snowman, which the students could use to experience weather that we don't typically get in Riverside. Low-tech Kinders may have trouble accessing the controls on the handles while in the virtual mode.]]> 2017-10-24 16:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcloughlin1/c7wgl75bzgeu/wish/200093309
