Virtual Content

Where and how can you find content connected to your curriculum? 

Content creators are multiplying rapidly. See below for a list and great examples! One downfall of the VR movement: there is no one content organizer, though it may only be a matter of time before there is. So finding content can be a bit clunky. Talk to your library media specialist. Check here, where we'll keep adding examples we discover. Or just try "Googling" the content you're looking for, but make sure you include "360" in your search.

How do you view Virtual Reality content?

There are three ways:  1. On your chromebook - just click and drag to move around;   2. Move around while viewing on an iPad;  3. For the most immersive, full 360° experience, use a phone and our VR viewers while standing up; turn around, look down, look up and all around the space.

Check out awesome VR 360 videos to bring to your classroom! 

Sample content providers:  ABC News; Discovery Education, NY Times, CNN, USA Today, LifeVR, National Geographic, BBC, PBS, Nearpod (see REF Grant tab), 360cities.net, and  YouTube 360.
