[ISLMA-Share] Google Cardboard

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We aren't using it, but I've looked into it.  We have a handful of Nexus 7
tablets we circulate to be used for ebooks and audiobooks.  There isn't an
official cardboard kit for them, but there are some relatively inexpensive
3rd party kits that claim to be compatible.  I have a feeling a 7" display
would be a little too bulky to be strapped to somebody's face though.

I keep meaning to bring it up and test it out, but I haven't come up with a
compelling lesson or instructional use yet.  Managing the tablets for
checkout is also slightly more cumbersome than I would like, but doable.
