The Morpho Institute's insight:
This would be a fantastic tool for our educators to use to create a video tour of their Amazon experience!
Have you explored Tour Builder (from Google)? Evan Scherr states "Tour Builder gives students an interactive way to present their learning in a way that is a lot more engaging than a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation."
This post provides four on how you might use Tour Builder in your classroom, as well as an example that you may check out. These examples include
* Creating a multimedia letter based on historical events (or perhaps a book)
* Using Google Trends and Google Maps. The suggestions here is to look at a trend based on a specific word and find out where it is is popular and is not popular and explore the reasons for this.
* Exploring a favorite city, where each student adds their city to the map
* Use it to have students create Lit Trips
In addition to these suggestions he includes additional ones in other academic areas and shares the many types of multimedia that may be integrated into a Google Tour.
