This session will begin with creating interactive Google Maps. Learn how to create custom maps to enhance the learning experience for your students in a variety of subjects. Participants will create their own custom maps and learn how to share them. Later in the session participants will be introduced to virtual field trips and given time to explore those related to their teaching field. Furthering their virtual trip knowledge, participants are encouraged to bring the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality headset to use as part of this workshop. VR provides the opportunity to engage your students with 360 degrees of real world video content to take them to new depths, new heights, and a whole new immersive level of learning!
