UPDATE (11/13/2020) -

The Google for Education team is committed to supporting teaching and learning from anywhere, at any time, on any device. For the past several years, we’ve been proud to enable immersive VR learning experiences for millions of students around the world with Tour Creator. Through Tour Creator, educators took students on new adventures to experience far-away places or learn about cultures unlike their own.

While Tour Creator has been a useful tool, usage has been limited. In order to focus on building the most impactful teaching and learning tools for schools now to support hybrid learning, we have made the difficult decision to deprecate Tour Creator on June 30, 2021. After that date, Tour Creator will no longer be accessible.

• “The focus is on creating engaging and relevant literary experiences for students. I like to say Google Lit Trips ‘3-dimensionalize’ the reading experience by placing readers ‘inside the story’ traveling alongside the characters; looking through the windshield of that old jalopy in The Grapes of Wrath or waddling alongside Mr. and Mrs. Mallard’s duckling family in Make Way for Ducklings.” - Skillshop Google for Education

Curriculum Ideas:

• History - Mark important locations, turn off 3D buildings layer to see how landscape might have looked to the explorers.

• Math - Calculate volume of real-world solids such as any famous structures or cavernous locations such as a section of the Grand Canyon.

• Math - Use the ruler and path tools to calculate distances.

• Science - Mark locations of earthquakes & volcanoes. Photos, Islands, and Geographic features help learn about plate tectonics.

• Science - Research animal habitats
