All the materials were kindly shared by Bethany Marcusson and Andrea Vélez, two very pleasant members of the Nearpod team with whom I had a very interesting Skype conversation.

Google Expeditions

 

If you are keen on using technology in education and would like to take your class to an exciting adventure without leaving your classroom try using Google Expeditions! Google Expeditions enable teachers to bring students on virtual trips to places like museums, underwater, and outer space. Expeditions are collections of linked VR content and supporting materials that can be used alongside existing curriculum. These trips are collections of virtual reality panoramas — 360° panoramas and 3D images — annotated with details, points of interest, and questions that make them easy to integrate into curriculum already used in schools.
