RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.
This website is a great way to communicate information in an easy-to-read format. Visually stimulating images, videos, and 360
degree views can be used to get the users point across in their creations. The user can add audio, video, text, other images, etc.
into the presentation, and theyre all accessible with just a scroll of the mouse. The user can also create a virtual tour using close-
up videos. All content can be uploaded from the users computer.
The user can sign up as a teacher, student, business analyst, marketer, etc. This way the user can create presentations catered to
the content they need to communicate.
I might use this resource in place of a Powerpoint lesson, or as supplemental resource for projects or homework. Its more
interactive, and allows students hands-on learning. Its especially affective for kinesthetic and visual learners because they can see
and visit any location they want to with the 360 degree tours.
This is also a great resource for visual, kinesthetic, and even auditory learners to use for their own presentations because they can
have free reign of the types of communicative pathways they want to use to express their content. Its the perfect tool for
evaluation differentiation.
