I’m thrilled to provide the #31DaysofARVRinEDU event! Each day in March will include an augmented (AR) or virtual reality (VR) resource to bring into the classroom.
If you’re looking for a way to bring 360 video content into your classroom, you have a free and easy option using YouTube. The website is often used in education for traditional 2D videos, while a 360 experience is much more beneficial and personalized for our students. The same video can offer a different view for more learning each time.
Many people are unaware of how to find 360 videos on the YouTube site. Add a keyword in the search bar and run a filter to explore only 360 content.
Students can view 360 videos on the web using a Chromebook or a computer as well as a mobile device on the YouTube app. Using the app, students can split the screen and view the 360 videos in a VR headset viewer.
I’ve created a YouTube playlist of 360 videos to help you get started. Create your own playlist of 360 videos to begin using YouTube in your classroom for VR experiences.
