But, the one piece that was missing was the ability for the students to (easily) create their own tours. And, finally, late last school year, Google granted my wish, by launching Tour Creator. Tour Creator allows students to make their own virtual reality tours, either by shooting their own 360 videos, or by finding 360 videos online.
How could we use it?
There are many ways students could use Tour Creator in the classroom setting:
- To create narrative stories, in which the students can record their voice while the audience follows the narrative in a 360 view.
- To create expository stories in which the student tells the story of a historical event, or scientific phenomena
- To create tours of locations that other students might need to see, like a tour of of the school for incoming students, or a tour of a field trip that they went on, or a tour of a historical location.
- To create explanatory tours, that show skills that other students might need to do, like sports skills.
And that's just a few of the possibilities!
