Having this 360 degree digital camera will allow my students to see and analyze pictures they can take in a whole new way, taking students into a virtual reality of the world they may have missed, being able to revisit field trips or classroom lessons in more detail than collections of photos can. Students will be able to enhance their 21st century leaning skills by being able to view their pictures in a way many students could never imagine! How deep can a student's learning go with being able to see a picture giving them a complete view of an experience, and remember what they learned, or maybe what they may have missed? I see students using this camera on field trips, outdoor science labs, in class demonstrations/presentations, special events, etc. The possibilities of this camera and the effect it will have on my students is endless!
