The Best Sites For Panoramas

Posted at 12:20 am under best of the year, geography

Pictures offer countless learning opportunities for English Language Learners (and mainstream students). Writing descriptions, using the Picture Word Induction Model, etc. They’re great in Geography to give students a sense of different places, and questions can be asked about them to provoke higher-order thinking.

I think panoramas are even more engaging, and have posted links to a number of good sites for panoramic images on my Geography page. I’ve decided to highlight a few them in this latest “The Best…” list.

Here are my picks (not in any order of preference) for The Best Sites For Panoramas:

Panoramas DK

The Worldwide Panorama Map

Panedia

GigaPan

Panoye

Big Eye In The Sky

Virtual Parks

360 Cities (you can embed any of their panoramas on your own site)

Panoramic Earth

Pano Google is a search engine specifically for panoramic images on the Web.
