360 Degree World History

The use of 360 degree video and equipment is an emerging 21st Century technology that benefited Mr. Warden’s 10th grade World History class at Riverdale High School. Students used the 360 degree camera, equipment, and Virtual Reality (VR) headset to bring awareness to the challenges of the developing world through researching and promoting various humanitarian organizations. Students in small video production teams chose a specific humanitarian organization to create a Virtual/ 360 degree video demonstrating the challenges that their organization desires to improve.
