Now that the Arts are minimized in most schools due to budget restrictions, I will make good use of the ability to virtually tour museums. With this technology my class will be able to view art we would probably not be able to see otherwise, regardless of budget.
Social studies seems to be another course of study that could really benefit from this website. Seeing similarities and differences of social norms practiced in different areas of the country as well as possibly internationally. Having my students engage in or even only view other classrooms via conferencing, could prove to be productive in accomplishing this. Additionally, when the same subject matter is presented, the "audience" (students) can create a completely different effect giving more color and contrast to any given subject.
