  1. Trisha,
    I love that you have such a variety of activities. It was very creative of you to do something with Columbus. A good way to get students involved.

  2. I love it! Columbus was always an absract idea for me since it was so long ago and so far away but now that I have "seen" it, it makes more sense! Great subject to do on a virtual tour!

  3. Trisha, this was an awesome idea! If I were a student I would have thoroughly enjoyed this. I love how you included drawings or photos to accompany each location. That helped bring each place to life even more, and tied in Columbus' era with how the world looks today. You also had really great, thoughtful activities and questions for the students to ponder. I especially loved the assignment to compare the geography of India to that of Hispaniola. That was SO clever!! What a great use of the technology! :D
