Virtual Tours - Tour Creator

Google Tour Creator was released in May 2018, and it provided a simple way for students to show their learning about a place. If you are viewing on a mobile device, these tours can be viewed with a VR headset like Google Cardboard for a more immersive experience. Just pop your device into a headset and be transported to a new place! Best Buy's Insignia brand often goes on sale for $5.00 per set, which is a great price for the classroom. Google Street View + Tour Creator + Insignia Virtual Reality Viewer = Inexpensive Virtual Reality experience for any classroom!

Virtual Tours

Walk With Us Project has used Google Tour Creator to build virtual tours of Kashechewan, Taykwa Tagamou, and Chapleau Cree First Nations. As of July 2021, Google Tour Builder is no longer available. Students can now use Google Earth Projects to create presentations about any place around the world.
