Google Expeditions by Freyja W.

Hi, today I’m going to talk about Expeditions. Expeditions is an app where you are in a VR like app on an iPad. So, you might wonder why it’s an education app. Well the reason why is because it’s an app where the VR teaches you about a subject. For example, my teacher showed me World War 2. You (students) have to wait for a teacher to get a code and get a subject and then you can get in that VR class and wait for your teacher to guide you. It will show a “waiting for guide” on your screen. For teachers it’s a lot different you have to find the VR that you’re teaching. You have an advantage because if you have 24 kids and only 12 kids are in you can see who is not in the Expedition. You will know if anyone isn’t paying attention. It also gives you questions and answers in case you don’t know much. Here are some steps to use Expeditions.

1. Go to your student App Store. (Teachers in your App Store.)
2. Download the app. (Same for teachers)
3. Go in the app. (Teacher will have to get a subject before class starts.)
4. Type code and wait. (Wait till all kids are in teachers.)
5. Then your teacher will start the lesson. (Teachers will have to press play the students can start looking.)
6. You teacher could ask some questions. (Teteachersachers press a little orange bar at the bottom right of your screen ask and answer questions you ask students.)
7. Your teacher can switch to different VR area. (Swipe to the left and press start.)

This is what your screen will look like when you’re in the Expedition.

This is when a teacher draws on something. For example the gun.

This is a teacher’s point of view and the question and answers. (If a teacher does not know the answer.)

Teachers can see where you are looking.

A teacher is able to draw on Expeditions.

The reason why I like Expeditions is because you just get a code wait for teacher and  then your in the Expedition. Teachers have to find a subject and boom you have to wait for the kids to come and get in that Expedition. Oh yes, you can also show students where to look and see if there paying  attention to the lesson or not. I don’t have any reason not to like Expeditions. This is a good app because teachers don’t have to worry about the cost and transportation for a field trip. Students can have a more fun and interesting field trip in a virtual way.
