Week 6 PLE

Tours I visited:
-Angela Nuttall: Clocks
-Lizzy: Exploring Utah rocks and minerals
-Kate: Ecosystems

Some upsides of virtual tours are that I think they'd be easy for the kids to follow and it is easy to download on all the computers so that they can all be doing it at the same time if desired. I also think it can be implemented in any grade because the content can be made more or less complex very easily. And!...you only have to make it once and it's good for years! Downsides...I did not thoroughly enjoy Google Earth as much as some of the other technologies we have used. And some kids may not understand the concept of visiting places in the virtual earth.
