Week 8 thing 19

I "flew" to a prefecture in Tokyo where I lived some years ago (the year shall go nameless). It's called Nakano and I found the subway station where I used to get off to walk to my apartment. I then flew all over the U.S. visiting my siblings and mother! I can see this being a "wow" tool to show students a global perspective on a particular issue. For example, in science, as we talk about habitat loss in environmental science and endangered species, we could 'travel' to the region where the species are endangered just to give a better sense visually and making the content more relevant to students' lives.
