Metaverse – Augmented Reality

Metaverse is an app that can be used on iPads or smartphones. Using the website, educators or students can create virtual reality experiences. The program is extremely open ended, allowing projects to be based on any subject. At the end, students can even share their creations, making their work more meaningful. They can included polls and collect data through the app as well.

This a Metaverse experience I created based on famous artists. Students need to figure out who the mystery artist is. Throughout the experience, students are linked to videos, tours, and images of artwork. Each artist gives them a hint so they can figure out who the special artist is!

Google My Maps

Google My Maps can be a great tool for teachers to help bring students to new places. Virtual field trips are possible using My Maps and older students can use My Maps for integrated technology projects. These are great for group projects as they can be worked on from two different computers at once!
