12 Days of Techmas
Day 5
360Schools
On the fifth day of Techmas, Ms. D is taking us on a Virtual Field Trip using 360° images.
Ever wanted to take your students on a Field Trip and the location was too far away? Or you wanted to visit cities to give students a better picture of the setting of a book, an event in history, etc.? Then this tool is for you!

I am excited to share this tool with you! I LOVE creating virtual field trips with classes and this is a GAME CHANGER!!!
Imagine being able to share with students the places you are studying in a way that they can take a deeper look to help them understand the setting of a story or explore locations to see the biomes they are studying in science in a 360° view.
You can take students on a Virtual Field Trip to places around the world. There are so many cool features on this page. When you visit their website, be sure to visit the "For Teachers" section at the bottom and sign up for 360Schools. This will allow you to not only use these 360° panoramas in your lessons but create your own guided tours.
Activity IDEA: Brain Break/Brainstorm Activity - Have QR Codes with different locations students can visit. They could have a writing prompt about what they see or to list as many things they notice or what they can determine about the location based on what they view in the 360°. What if each week they get a new location to work on observation skills, notetaking, and deductive reasoning?
