I love apps that take students on virtual field trips to explore life in other parts of the world. Virry is a great example of an iPad app that changes the way we think about using a tablet in the classroom. With Virry, students can watch a Live Animal Video Feed of animals in their natural habitats. Live video feeds and prerecorded clips for kids to watch can also help children learn about a variety of animals.

Virry introduces kids to lions, meerkats, rhinos, and giraffes. Students can play interactive games, answer quiz questions and sit back and watch. This app is a great tool for teachers looking to extend work in a traditional lesson or incorporate multimedia into a class discussion. Virry can be a research tool for students. It can also be an engaging way for them to learn about different animals and the way they live. Virry was recently nominated for a 2015 BAFTA Children’s award and is available to download on iPads.
