Virtual Field Trip

The virtual field trip was another thing that I didn't know about technology until today. I find it amazing how it can have so much information in one program. I was looking at a 1920's virtual tour of Ireland during WW1 and some of my classmates were looking at how the ocean looks like on the other side of the world, all on the same program. I think this would be very helpful in the classroom. You can show the students anything from anywhere during any time period and its at the tip of your fingers. I think when teaching about WW1 I would be able to show this virtual tour and the students would be able to get a real firsthand look on how the people dealt withy the war, and how they eventually moved on. In closing I am excited to get started on the web quest. I learned about digication and I want to get started.
