1)A Virtual Tour is a simulation of an existing location, usually composed of a sequence of video images. They also may use other multimedia elements such as sound effects, music, narration, and text.
2)I could use virtual tours to show kids different equipment or the different areas that they will be able to use during physical education. By showing them the equipment room, different exercises in the weightroom, they can start to create their own ideas of what they would like to do during the class.
3)A pro can be to make a classroom of children to travel the world from their classroom desks. This is a pro because it saves alot of money for the school, especially compaired to field trips and transportation.
A con would be that by doing a virtual tour, the class is just sitting at their desks where they could be moving around and actually experiencing it. Everyone always says it is always better to see in person.
I like your idea of exposing your students to new experiences such as a weight room via a virtual tour!
