In class we were studying Ancient Civilization--specifically Egypt. My students were looking at pictures but this was not enough. Then I remembered that Johan had mentioned a site that allows for Virtual Tours... On this site they were able to SEE panoramas as if they were actually standing there. A great site to explore. http://www.360cities.net/
Next time I'll incorporate this site as part of a fun task and introduce to them Google Earth as well.....If they don't already know about it........
