Please keep your arms and hands in the ride at all times (TOUR)

For looking at the tours I looked at Daren's religious buildings, Janae Browning's biomes, and Lauryn Paul's comparing communities. I really enjoyed watching them and getting more great ideas that I could use in my future classroom. I really liked that I could look at pictures and then really look at some of the buildings. I also thought it was neat that some of them put videos with their tour, that way you could connect whatever was happening in the video with the actual place.

Some positive things about using tours and google earth in a classroom is the ability to actually see places 3-D without really being there. It is almost impossible to take the students there to these foreign places on a field trip, so in a way this is real enough that they can see it. I also like it because not only can they see the place but we can add videos or text with the different things we are viewing and connect them.

Some negative things is that even after making a tour I still think they are confusing to maneuver. I just hope that the students can figure out how to work it. I also think that for some subjects it would be easier and more beneficial for the students to just read it. Overall it was a great experience.
