PLE Week 6 #3

Write a paragraph reflecting on what you think the upsides and downsides are for implementing a virtual tour in the classroom.

Google earth has fun layers to use such as the National Geographics layer and Gigapan Photos layer that make learning about different places very fun and informative, however, it's not very interactive, and it doesn't appeal to all the senses. Also, Google Earth isn't always available for individual use. I do like how it provides clear organization for what you are trying to teach. I think that visual transition from place to place really helps the kids stay focused.
