Google Expeditions

Today, thanks to my friend Sandra Chow, I was invited to experience Google Expeditions at Lawrence Heights Middle School in Toronto (A big thank you to Principal David DeBelle too!).

The hype about Google Expeditions is well-deserved: this is one amazing concept. Students and teachers alike were enthralled from the beginning of the day to the end. Led by Chris Zhu from Google, teachers were able to choose from a list of about 100 different expeditions to try out with their students and we were given a brief training on how to use the app prior to our sessions.

Check out the excitement of these Joyce Street PS students!



Unfortunately, the Expeditions app is not yet available to the public: Chris told me that it won’t be available until the end of the year. This means that the only way that you will get to experience the full Google Expeditions repertoire is if a Google rep comes to your school to demonstrate it. The problem is, many schools have applied but only a few get chosen (Tip from Sandra: get lots of teachers at your school to apply separately since Google responds to high demand!).

The premise of the app is that you can take your students on virtual field trips around the world. However, you DO need the Google Cardboard viewers and the devices to insert into the viewers (smartphones or iPods) to experience this virtual reality. Fortunately, the Google Expeditions leader supplies these for your students: Chris came with 60 viewers and devices for us to use, so we were able to rotate many classes during the entire day: 2 classes at a time, every half an hour. Thanks to Sandra and David for their brilliant and creative timetabling to make this work! 

Click here for a brief post-expedition presentation that we put together with links to many Virtual Reality apps you can use right away with your students. You and your students don’t need to wait for Google Expeditions to get started: you can explore Virtual Reality on your own!

Here are some photos taken today of Lawrence Heights Middle School and Joyce Public School students and staff: What a great group! I look forward to sharing my learning with students and staff at my school, Crescent School, as soon as I can!

  1. The virtual reality gear gives students a 360-degree view of places like Madagascar and the North Pole, the Great Barrier Reef, and the moon.

    Teachers can choose from more than 100 locations and up to 50 students at a time can plug into each trip.

  19. I'm Sara Frédéric from Switzerland I want to let the whole world know how Dr Great has restored my broken relationship with Wayne. We have been together for 2 1/2 years and he told me that he doesn’t love me like he used to. Things have not been good for about 4 months and he ended this about 2 weeks ago. I was miserable and just don’t want to go on anymore. I did text him right after this but he didn’t even respond to me. One day I was searching for something on the Internet when I saw a post of a love spell caster called Dr Great and how he helped a lady to get back her Ex, I was so desperate to get mine back I messaged him and explained my situation to him and he instructed me to do somethings which I did and 24 hours later my boyfriend Wayne came back home kneeling and begging for my forgiveness and I forgave him and our relationship was back to normal again if your Ex broke up with you or you have any problem then you problem has come to an end because God is using Dr Great to solve all our problems and put a smile on our faces if you need his urgent help email him at infinitylovespell@gmail.com

  32. My husband and I separated recently. We’ve been married for six years now and it’s been an abusive relationship in all types of way. I want to figure out myself and fix my own issues so I can be a great mom and wife but I feel like is a waste of time to try to fix my marriage because it’s broken down and I’m emotionally drained and I just want to focus on my kids. And I feel it’s unfair for me to try to fix something that I’m the only one that’s putting effort into. I’m so confused. That had been my decisions until i came across an article in a blog on how Dr.Ogudugu (greatogudugu@gmail.com) helped many people to restore broken marriages/relationships. I quickly contacted him, and he told me what i should do, which i did immediately. Within 48hours my husband came back and the greatest part of it is that my husband has changed completely, he no longer abuses or insults me. Today, he has become a loving and caring husband.

  33. my partner and I have been trying for a baby for over two years now, We were going to a fertility clinic for about 5 months before somebody at baby center told us to contact this spell caster who is so powerful, We contacted him at this email; babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka , for him to help us, then we told him our problem, he told us that we will conceive once we follow his instructions ,but after two years of trying we were at a point where we were willing to try anything. And I'm glad we came to Priest Babaka, Because his pregnancy spell cast and herbal remedy help us, and I honestly believe him, and his gods really helped us as well, I am thankful for all he has done. contact him via email: babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka if you are trying to have a baby or want your lover back. he has powers to do it, he has done mine
