@klooktravel Our two families (4 adults/4 children) were supposed to go on your Phi Phi, Maya and Khai Islands trip today, but all of our children fell sick yesterday, vomiting throughout the evening and night. What can you do for us? We can't leave our children sick and alone.

We found #GoogleExpeditions to be intuitive and immersive...and with @googlecardboard it will be accessible. Nice job @GoogleForEdu #edtech
Up to 80 #OFSSingapore kids per session going on different #GoogleExpeditions with @GoogleCardboard. Amazing.#edtech
Over 450 #OFSSingapore students loved trying @googlecardboard and #GoogleExpeditions ! Great to see/hear such wonder from HS kids! #edtech

Why #differentiation doesn't work, by @jimdelisle3 in @educationweek - thought provoking, against the grain.
