Now This Is VERY Intriguing: Students & Teachers Can Now Create Their Own Google Virtual Reality “Tours”

I’ve previously shared a lot about Google Expeditions, the virtual reality “field trip” tool (see The Best Resources For Finding And Creating Virtual Field Trips and and A Beginning List Of The Best Resources On Virtual Reality In Education).

Today, Google unveiled a neat new feature – teachers and students can now create their own virtual reality tours!

It’s call Tour Creator, and looks very cool.

You can read more about it at Google and watch the video below:
