Mrs. Tyner has taught French, and lately English, for many wonderful years at Delphi. This year she wanted a fun activity for her classes right before a long break. Enter Google Cardboard! Since I have written about how to use Google Cardboard before, I will spare the details. Instead, I will share many fun photos from Madame Tyner's French classes.
In preparation for the day's activities, Mrs. Tyner had students download Google Street View to their devices. Those that did not have a smartphone were able to use Mrs. Tyner's or a friend's phone.
The "Oohs!" and "Ahhs!" are always my favorite part! There were plenty of those this day. Mrs. Tyner posted a list of places in France that her students needed to visit. Many of these places were areas that Mrs. Tyner had the privilege of seeing in person. It was really cool to see her reactions to these places. Her knowledge of France is such an asset to her students.
Here Mrs. Tyner points to the stain windows in Notre Dame. She quickly gave a chuckle as she remembered the students were not necessarily seeing the same thing as her. The biggest reason this was such a cool moment is because of the realism of the virtual reality experience. If you have not tried Google Cardboard yet, I recommend that you find me soon so you can give it a try. You may just want to try it in your own classroom!
