Google Expeditions!

On Friday, every third, fourth, and fifth grade student was able to participate in Google Expeditions! This is a virtual reality field trip experience.  You can read more about it here. It was a day full of adventure for students and teachers!  Students explored under the ocean, shipwrecks, volcanoes, sharks, Auschwitz, and many other historical locations.  We were thrilled to have Google come out for a day to let us test out their app that is in beta testing.  This app will be available to schools for free at the end of the year and I know we are all excited to have this technology for our students to experience!


Teachers checking it out during training session:



The students were surprised they had a 360 degree view of the entire expedition!



 It was a day full of pure joy, excitement, and some screams (when they were experiencing sharks!)
