The US National Park Service turned 100 on August 24. In celebration of this milestone, the Park Service has released a new site, The Hidden Worlds of the National Parks, which takes students on virtual reality trips to 5 of the national parks.
As you click on each of the locations on the site, you are taken to 360 degree interactive videos with a local park ranger providing audio as your guide. You can then click through to several different views at the park as well as some additional video and informative interactions.
This experience will be engaging for pretty much any age level, but for younger elementary students, the teacher might want to navigate through the site as a class since it is easy to click on a link and then lose track of where you started.
Even if you decide not to share with a class, this is just a fun site for students (or even yourself)!
