The virtual tour of Hawaii was very interesting. The website provided pictures as well as 360 degree tours of the islands. While on the tour, I could tell where I was at all times and could easily get back to the home screen. There were several locations on the different islands that were pictured on the page and when clicked on, they opened up 360 degree tours of that location. There was a map provided on the website that helped me choose where to go. However, no guide was present. The website also gave links to other sites that would be useful in gathering more information. An email address was provided to ask questions and sign up for the newsletter. The tour allowed me to visit a place that I have never been in real life, and may not ever have the chance to visit.
All in all, I think this was a great tour. However, there is no way it could actually match an actual field trip. With that being said, students will still gain a lot from this tour, because it is very unlikely that they will actually be able to take a field trip to Hawaii.
