Virtual Site: Coral Reef Biomes
1
Virtual site mission
2
Provide information from the site from extended sensors, photos and videos.
All the information packaged as a single pack that uses virtual technology to deliver the experience to students i.e. Google Earth. Future technology can be also used as 3D or panorama Quick Time.
A sample of the use of this technology in a classroom is planned (lesson plan) as a so-called virtual field trip i.e. "Getting to know coral reef of Thailand, meets the folks out there", "Cloud Forest, the source of your clean water for life".
VFT (our technology) will be built around the concept of inquiry based learning and GLOBE complete cycle where finally students prepare their presentations that can be used in a student conference.
What do we get from this virtual site?
