Give students a front row seat
Take students out of the classroom and into the world with an immersive learning experience.
Student-directed learning
- By turning their heads or looking up and down, students explore virtual landscapes—focusing in on elements that excite them. Driven by student curiosity and designed to promote student-led learning, students are the drivers in their journey.
Teacher-directed instruction
- Teachers use a tablet to lead the expeditions, monitor where students are in the virtual reality experience, pause a trip to direct students to look at a particular part of an image, and control which images students see within an expedition.
A roadmap for exploration
- Take students behind the scenes at NASA, into caves, and through ecosystems to empower them to embrace real-world science.
- Guide your students as they travel through history to experience cultures and locations beyond their home state.
- Make language come alive as you travel with students to the countries they are learning about in each unit of ¡Avancemos! and Bien dit!®
