Are you looking for a new resource to help bring the immersion of a lesson to the next level? No matter the subject or grade level, there is a 360º Video for your class! 360º Videos are known as immersive or spherical videos. During the creation of the video, a view in every direction is recorded at the same time using an omnidirectional camera or a full collection of cameras. Hold on to your seat, because here is the best part…when you play the video you can control the viewing direction like a panorama. Yes, like move it around in any direction! You don’t need a special viewer or anything. Just view straight from your computer, tablet, or phone.
Okay, so before we go further, you MUST check it out, so you can see it for yourself! Open up a new tab, so you can return for some fabulous integration ideas and video sites. Are you ready to meet the largest dinosaur that ever existed? Just follow this link to experience the BCC 360º Video, largest dinosaur that ever discovered! When it starts to play you will notice a silver circle in the top right corner with arrows. That means it is ready for interaction!! Use your fingers or curser to move the video around:)
How fabulous was that? Do you already have ideas for your class? There are 360º videos on everything from the solar system to inside the human body to a visit to the rainforest. Go ahead and get your passport ready, because you can take your students all around the world!
How will you integrate them in your classroom?
