Day 3: Virtual Tours

Given the limited resources and impossible logistics of taking students to places like Clovis, NM or Sagres, Portugal, virtual tours are a great tool to use with classes. One of the first ones I did in class was of the USS Constitution. http://www.history.navy.mil/USSCTour/movie.html Google Earth opens up way more possibilities. I'm thinking that for Pre-AP this year, I will send the kids on a scavenger hunt with place names withheld and only coordinates given, while the regular classes will get a list of places and be required to fill in coordinates. Both classes will perform research questions once they are at the locations. Differentitation would necesaitate peer groups. No more than 2 per.
