So exploring the virtual spaces available on Google was fun. I mentioned an example of this in my last post with Google Art and Culture which allows to you visit museums all over the world. For this post I used a Google site to do Career exploration as a museum photographer. The site allowed me to explore the typical everyday environment of a photographer. It was nice to click on different parts of the images to explore tools and tasks of the career. This site has so many classroom room potential to have middle school and high school students explore their interests in various fields. The link to this site is:

I can not leave this subject without trying at least one virtual tour of a library. http://www.klementinum.pano3d.cz/index-en.html Please visit this site to explore the The Klementinum Library that is in Prague, Czechia which is very beautiful with high ceilings, rich woodwork, large rooms, painted ceilings, and huge reading rooms! It reminded the kid in me of the library in Beauty and the Beast but without the chandelier, I just needed a yellow dress! Actually I just looked at it again and disagree it is more detailed and impressive than the Disney movie. I warn that you may get dizzy if you are heavy handed on your mouse.
I can imagine students being whisked away to another part of the world which they’ve never dreamed of using these online immersive experiences. Your description of the Klementinum Library was magical! Going to have to bookmark that one myself!
That library is gorgeous! Forgot about the books, I’d be too busy wandering around looking at all the amazing decorations. I visited Prague many years ago and wish I would have known about this library. I would have loved to have seen it!
That library was impressive. I’d never heard of it before and now I would like to visit all because I saw it on a virtual tour. Thank-you for sharing–virtual field trips are truly a fascinating educational tool.
