Hi #arvrinedu.. i’m urbie, an arizona-based instructional designer. I’ve dabbled (mixed success) with that google street view app..

Hey hey #arvrinedu high school teacher librarian empowering from Cali! Excited to learn #VR tool that helps kiddos grasp Canada is North.

Hi #ARVRinEDU We are HistoryView. We provide this link for teachers looking to use Geography VR Field Trips in the Classroom https://t.co/ynL0NXTKEq #edtech #VR #VirtualReality

I've used street view, but not for geography....yet #arvrinedu

Q1 How can we use #ARVRinEDU in our social studies classrooms?
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:05 PM EDT

Great to have you here tonight Urbie! Have you used Street View to create your own #VR 360's? I know we had a chance to create it at the training with @christycate #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @urbie, @christycate
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:06 PM EDT

That is hilarious! So glad to have you here tonight, Katie :D #ARVRinEDU

urbie Jul 18 @ 9:07 PM EDT

#arvrinedu I’ve had mixed success. I’ve used my drones to capture 360s.. but then what? It’s one thing to upload them. But shouldn’t there be a story (or something engaging) to justify making them available?

Do you anticipate using it in your library? #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @KatieJMcNamara, @urbie

Take it easy on the Biebs! #arvrinedu

That looks interesting. I’ll have to check that out #ARVRinedu

In reply to @seanmarnold, @JaimeDonally, @cospaces_edu, @hpreveal, @nearpod
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Absolutely! Since you can automatically download the 360 into your camera roll, you can then upload the image into other platforms such as @cospaces_edu or @TheRoundme #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @urbie, @christycate, @cospaces_edu, @TheRoundme
KatieJMcNamara Jul 18 @ 9:09 PM EDT

When we make 360s, we make them interactive.... information or story or both #arvrinedu
In reply to @urbie, @JaimeDonally, @christycate
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Q2 Have you tried any great #AR resources to explore geography? If so, how have the students responded? Get ready to explore a new app with @clever_books. Download at https://t.co/qi141dCrLe for next question. #ARVRinEDU
supervxn Jul 18 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Hi everyone, I'm Noa, from Israel. Working for the EdTech Innovation Unit at the Ministry of Education (it's where the magic happens). #ARVRinEDU
KatieJMcNamara Jul 18 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Yes! Where are you reading? #arvrinedu
In reply to @JaimeDonally, @urbie
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Wow, that's off the top of your head? That's a fantastic list :D Love the Free Rivers app BTW. #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @seanmarnold, @cospaces_edu, @hpreveal, @nearpod
seanmarnold Jul 18 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: They’re great for exploring other nations and historical times that are beyond the reach of a field trip. It’s more impactful than just showing pictures on a screen-also it makes it more concrete for my special needs students. #ARVRinEDU

Wow, sounds amazing! Magic should happen in all our schools 😍 #ARVRinEDU Welcome Noa (I hope I got that right)

Q3 Now explore the @clever_books Geography app by scanning this image and selecting continents. #ARVRinEDU How can this type of exploration benefit our students?
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:15 PM EDT

What a fantastic approach to teaching special needs students. The students are so lucky to have your talents and expertise. #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @seanmarnold
GabeHaydu Jul 18 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1: It seems like one of the most obvious ways to incorporate #arvrinedu into social studies curriculum by using #googleexpeditions. I just recently explored the @googleearth #VR experience with a friend's @htcvive and it was amazing! So many possibilities!
seanmarnold Jul 18 @ 9:16 PM EDT

1600 is a cool, quick 1 time AR app for social studies, but AR in @GoogleForEdu Expeditions lets you bring landforms and the globe to life in your classroom #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @JaimeDonally, @Clever_Books, @GoogleForEdu
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Hello Gabe and welcome :) #ARVRinEDU

#arvrinedu well this is interesting.. #cleverbooks

Why don’t they always believe me when I tell them that on the first day? #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @JaimeDonally
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I look forward to your response to the experience in @Clever_Books #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @urbie, @Clever_Books
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Maybe they need a little convincing with an #AR scavenger hunt on the first day of school. A little fun can go a long way :) #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @seanmarnold
supervxn Jul 18 @ 9:19 PM EDT

I'm looking to show Ts in Israel how this could be implemented in class. Any specific lesson plans? #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @HistoryViewVR, @JaimeDonally
seanmarnold Jul 18 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: that one’s new for me-thanks. I think making it kinesthetic (movement of view on my device) and visual makes it more likely to be retained by students. #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @JaimeDonally, @Clever_Books
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q4 What part in particular did you enjoy the most in this #AR #Geography experience by @clever_books? Why? #ARVRinEDU
KatieJMcNamara Jul 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Setting up #AR scavenger hunt for back to school with @MetaverseApp #arvrinedu
In reply to @JaimeDonally, @seanmarnold, @MetaverseApp
seanmarnold Jul 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

We do play on Day 1, but we work up to that kind of event as some don’t start with the capacity for that much adventure. My favorite AR use with them so far is documenting their #PBL efforts and having their project be a trigger to show their process video #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @JaimeDonally
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:23 PM EDT

You can download the app and view it now. I try to share new resources each week so that we can continue to build our library of #ARVRinEDU tools. https://t.co/qi141dCrLe
In reply to @seanmarnold, @Clever_Books
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Very cool idea. Do you run into any privacy issues such as recording the special needs students? I've found that those programs have a heightened sense of caution with videos. #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @seanmarnold
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Q5 FINAL THOUGHTS! Did you know you can explore all the continents? @Clever_books has the full map to explore much more. How can classrooms use this tool for learning? #ARVRinEDU https://t.co/qi141dCrLe
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Very cool Katie! The students are going to go crazy :D #ARVRinEDU
In reply to @KatieJMcNamara, @seanmarnold, @MetaverseApp
seanmarnold Jul 18 @ 9:26 PM EDT

I like the way it shows regional animals and info. I’d like it if there are ones that include cultural icons too (instruments, architecture, important people from areas)-maybe that already exists #ARVRinedu
In reply to @JaimeDonally, @Clever_Books

Hey #ARVRinEDU squad! Not much to offer on this topic but I just want to say how much I enjoy following along and appreciate what @JaimeDonally is doing for the #AR #vr community!

Not sure where we are #arvrinedu but @Clever_Books is amazing. Love the layers
JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:29 PM EDT

It would be fantastic to add our own 3D objects in addition to the #AR experiences inside of the app. #ARVRinEDU

JaimeDonally - Moderator Jul 18 @ 9:33 PM EDT

There are definitely some F2F interactions that can occur in #AR, but we're also seeing our #VR social interactions beginning to pick up. It will be interesting as these tools continue to improve and grow in need and popularity. #ARVRinEDU
