Wow, the virtual age is truly amazing. This morning I was in Quebec, Nunavut, and Haida Gwaii, exploring our National Parks.

Parks Canada has used Google Street Maps to create virtual tours of many of the beautiful National Parks our country has. So much can be brought to life through the screen of your computer, be it the geography and flora of the different areas of regions, or the visions of historically important places, such as the Fortress of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia.

There is so much potential to bring the material taught in your Socials classes to life through this national resource. More places are being added through their street view project. I encourage you to check this out. It is as close to being there as one could be without the travel and way better than staring at the pictures in a textbook.
