How can you use Sphere in your classroom?

     I think Sphere is a very interesting and entertaining app. There are many different ways that I could use the Sphere in my classroom (either Spanish or Special Education), but especially with Special Education. We could use the Sphere outside on sunny days, or on cloudy days to use later to analyze different types of weather. I could also use the Sphere to take pictures of a piece of scenery that is meaningful to the student. The student could then use the picture they took as a visual aid as they write a paragraph or an essay about the place that is important to them.
     Students could also use spheres that already exists and explore different places on the earth. If a student were to explore the ocean, or the Eiffel Tower, they could write about their experiences. It could be a good daily warm-up for students to choose a location on the Sphere app, explore it, and then write a paragraph about what they found. They could even go further and use imagination and think outside of the box. In history classes, students could even use the Sphere to find pictures of important monuments, like the ones in Washington D.C. The Sphere would be helpful in bringing interactive visual aids in to the classroom, instead of traditional photographs, or only descriptions. The Sphere could also be useful for older students interested in looking into colleges because they could see campus without having to physically go there (even though this may not be something I could use in my classroom, it would be a good resource for kids).
     Finally, this would be something to reward my students with after working all day. Students love technology, and sometimes they can be distracted by it. If I used it as a reward, it would not be as much of a distraction, and students work hard, knowing that they could work with technology if they do a good job.
