Week 13

I have been trying to pick what to do for my last lesson plan. I did some exploring of google earth with the World Wonders Project, thinking that I may do something with google earth . Some of the locations are really cool, they have 360 views of the Great Barrier Reef, the Grand Canyon, a hut from a 1912 exploration team in Antarctica, Pompei. Out of those I've only been to the Grand Canyon, the views that they have I didn't experience as all of them are from down in the Canyon and I've only experienced it from the upper rim. It is really cool to be able to move around to see more, but it still doesn't have the awe factor of actually seeing it in person. It is a great tool to use when teaching about any of these places to be able to give the students a taste of what each place is like, but it still doesn't substitute the real thing.
