7 New Wonders of the World and Discover Eden.

In my virtual escape, I travelled which is great since COVID has limited travel and now I have a young one that cannot go more than 5 minutes in the car without screaming her head off.

I learned about the Seven New Wonders of the World.  The pictures were beautiful.  I was able to navigate a 360 view from the Taj Mahal and Great Wall of China.  I liked this because you not only got to see what the New Wonder looked like but also got to explore the area around it.   The descriptions provided an excellent summary of some facts about the wonders.  

 For Discover Eden, I learned about something I did not even know existed, a biome in Cornwall, England.  It contained a lot of information for an Environmental Science class or on a lesson about how we would set up life on another planet. 

I tried Google Expeditions on both a laptop and a phone and it worked well on each.  I could definitely see integrating many of these in the classroom.  For the two I choose, it is great to help the students see that the world is so much bigger and diverse, than our small rural town.
