Virtual Tours

This week we created a virtual tour on a Utah State Curriculum Objective. We decided to do physical education and focus on how physical education provides opportunity for enjoyment. I talked with Emily and Ana and they had their virtual tour on Early American Explorers. They basically showed where the explores went and gave a basic overview of what the explorers did. I think this is a great way to make the study of American Explorers interactive and fun. They had some really fun ideas for assignments at each of their place marks. I also talked with Kamden, she is doing her virtual tour on wetlands, forests. She is having the student's learn that there are different types of lands all over the country. For one of her activity she is having the kids go to a link and look at postcards to learn about the type of land located in the state. I think as a student that would be such a fun activity. These virtual tours are a really great tool for teachers. It allows students to see exactly where they are learning about and I think it is a great way for them to interact with the material.
