Google is ending support for Google Expeditions on June 30th. A few weeks ago I shared a short list of alternatives to Google Expeditions. In that blog post I mentioned that one of features of Expeditions that I’ll miss most is the ability to remotely guide or pace students through a virtual reality experience. 

I still haven’t found something that works in the exact same way as the guide mode in Google Expeditions. That said, teachers who have iPads in their classrooms can guide students through scenes in the Google Arts & Culture app through the use of Apple’s Classroom app. 

Applications for Education
The downside to using Google Arts & Culture on an iPad instead of on a phone is that the VR experience isn’t immersive like it is if you’re using a VR viewer. The upside is that as a teacher you can provide more assistance to young students as they use the app.
