Google Expeditions

Google Expeditions came to Proctor School and every student had the opportunity to take part in a virtual trip to some place or explored some thing. Students were amazed with all the "cool" experiences. Classes were held in both the library and the lab and students had enough room to move around their objects and explore them in greater depth.

"Imagine visiting the bottom of the sea, Buckingham Palace or even the surface of Mars all in an afternoon. With Google Expeditions, teachers can take their classes on immersive virtual journeys to bring their lessons to life." 

The day started with a training for teachers so they could become comfortable with the lesson. Teachers "ooh" and "ahh" as new sights came into view.

Classes had a 30 minute scheduled time slot with teachers as their "tour guides". the Google Expeditions provides guiding instructions as well as leveled questions for the teacher.






The Help Desk Crew had a special additional experience with Google Cardboard.

Many teachers made direct connections to the  McGraw-Hill science program when they chose the expedition for their class.
