Upsides and Downsides of the Virtual Tour

The upsides of implementing a virtual tour in an Elementary Education classroom is that it is a very visual way for students to learn the content area we want to teach. I think it would be fun for students to engage in an activity like this, because it's exciting and different than the average class lecture. It's like a virtual field trip! The downside of something like this is that it can be very time consuming.
