Virtual Field Trips
Virtual Field Trips
Immersive education apps allow teachers and students to explore the world through virtual-reality (VR) and augmented-reality (AR) tours.
Our library houses 18 VR kits ready to go! Just ask and we will support your students' travels to places, anywhere.
Here are some recommended apps:
National Geographic
National Geographic's YouTube channel has more than 50 videos that are designed to be watched in virtual reality. In fact, you can find lots of YouTube videos that are intended for viewing in VR by simply refining your search to 360 or 180 VR in YouTube's search filters.
Google Arts & Culture
The Google Arts & Culture app includes many of the experiences that were present in Google Expeditions. Students find and navigate through the tours that you want them to see.
Sites in VR
Sites in VR is a free app that features immersive imagery of notable landmarks around the world. The imagery can be viewed in VR headsets or without them.
