We live in a wonderful, beautiful, magnificent world. It is history- and culture-rich, diverse, and awe-inspiring. Bring it all to your students, take them places, lead their way, and excite their discovery and path-finding.
Especially nowadays, when everything around us looks so grim, and the reality isn’t a fun place to be in, going on high-definition virtual field trips can infuse new excitement to an every-day lesson. Go places in virtual reality, or bring the world to your classroom using augmented reality, the choice is yours, and the student-engagement is guaranteed!
In the past four years, RobotLAB was the leading partner for Google Expeditions and the only one certified to ship Google Expeditions Kits globally. Following Google’s decision to stop their VR efforts, discontinuing Google Day Dream and the Google Expeditions app, RobotLAB decided to take advantage of this opportunity and introduce VR Expeditions 2.0TM.
RobotLAB VR Expeditions 2.0™ is inspired by the great work Google did, and following feedback from thousands of educators, RobotLAB created a VR tool tailored to educators’ needs.
Some of the areas of improvement are:
Content – A unique partnership with Encyclopædia Britannica® to bring high-quality, curated, and tailored content, along with student hand-outs and additional teacher resources that make educators' life easier.
Visuals – In Expeditions 2.0™, all the 360-degrees photos and videos are high definition, 4k resolution, and designed to bring the best of the world to your classroom, in HD quality.
Classroom Management – A new feature was developed from the ground up. Now teachers can create playlists and save expeditions for offline teaching, without any need for internet access. Create classes and track the progress per class is an essential tool for educators struggling to manage their time more efficiently.
Our commitment to educators is above and beyond anything else. No matter where you got your kit from, we will retrofit it to run VR Expeditions 2.0!
We support all existing VR kits from:
"It is very engaging and it gets kids talking. They get excited about what they see and they want to share that with others.
I have used these with several different classes and grade levels- and all ages of students (and teachers) get excited. I think the students like using technology and they like to be immersed in what it is they are studying"
