Week 6

I viewed the virtual tours of Gillian, Kerry, and Maria. They were really good!

An upside for implementing a virtual tour in a classroom is that it is a really cool thing and I think kids would really enjoy doing it. It also gets them familiar with technology and it changes things up regarding lessons. Instead of having to listen to a lecture, they can follow the tour and learn a lot. Also, a virtual tour makes the subject seem more real to the kids. They can actually see the subject and its surroundings instead of just flat pictures of it in a text book. A downside is that it takes a lot of time for the teacher to do. Also, technology can be really temperamental and there is no guarantee that it will work for all the students.
