Today I was in Nepal

Today my students and I were between Lobuche and Gorak Shep taking in the 360 degree gorgeous view of snow covered mountain tops. This was a surprise, since we had been in the middle of a lesson about tundra ecosystems using the Nearpod app: reading information about tundras, taking polls, quizzes, viewing tundra videos and slideshows. Suddenly, on one of the slides, there was a link to 360cities, and we were transferred to another place.  Students stood holding their iPads slowly at first, looking in all directions, walking in all directions. Moving the iPads helped them see the full view of the breathtaking views of the mountains of Nepal. It was amazing!
