Virtual Tour Reflections...

I watched Ashley, Tammy, and Natalie's earth tours.

I think the virtual tour is a great way to help kids discover the world right inside the classroom. It is a very interactive way for kids to learn and I'm sure get them excited about discovering new things. It's great because you can't always hop on a bus and go on a field trip to anywhere you want, but having them use Google earth is a great way for them to experience a little more about what you are teaching. The disadvantage of using Google earth tours would be the time it takes to create the tour. Also, if this is an assignment they were going to do at home, hopefully the students would have the resources available to view the tour.
