Week 6 (please also see previous post)

I took a look at Andrea's, Katie's, and Rachel's tours. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but what I saw was cool.

I think the biggest upside for using a virtual tour in an elementary classroom is that it allows students to experience on some level what it would be like to be at locations that they cannot really go to. It's also a great way to incorporate technology into the curriculum.

The main downsides I see are that it takes a lot of time to prepare and technology can be very frustrating for some teachers and students.
