Nearpod VR

 Global collaboration is an important part of learning in today's ever changing world. For teachers there are some amazing tools out there to bring global collaboration into the classroom and make learning more interactive. Nearpod is great example of an educational tool that can enhance the classroom. Nearpod is a platform that aims to help teachers make lessons more interactive and one of the features included is Nearpod VR or virtual reality. With this tool students can take 360 degree virtual tours or field trips to places all over the world. 

Not only is Nearpod VR a great way to enhance a regular lesson by touring historical landmarks during a history lesson, it can also be used to facilitate global collaboration. Students can go on a virtual field trip along with students from another class from a different part of the world. students can then share their ideas and what they learned or liked about the experience together online, either through video call if time zones allow, or asynchronously in a chat or blogging platform set up for their classes. Another great strategy for global collaboration is for students from different parts of the world to tour landmarks in the others country, while the other class teaches them about it. Virtual reality can even be used for students around the world to tour each others classroom or school to see how classrooms differ. There are so many amazing ways that tools like Nearpod VR can be used to enhance lessons and incorporate global learning in our classrooms.
