When Keith Price became technology director of Alabama’s Vestavia Hills City Schools in 2019, one of the first tasks he tackled was replacing the district’s aging video management system.

And while it is painfully true that tight school budgets often result in unstaffed or understaffed school libraries, I am hopeful. I sense a revolution in how we serve our students — a revolution in how we walk the talk of equity.

The way this works is simple, upload a 360 degree image, and then add audio track/file or sounds. Once a story is done it can then be shared via a link or embedded into a site. Finally, Story Spheres can set to play audio once the image is viewed or when an image is clicked on to change the perspective in 360 degrees.
