GOOGLE WORLD OF WONDERS
This Google site takes you to more than 150 places around the world. You can join Street View Guy and walk an area, view pictures, including historic images, and read an overview text on the site. You can visit random locations or places containing themed collections (Hiroshima and Versailles). Additional parts of World of Wonders are the Google Art Project and Historic Moments -- a look at a collection of extraordinary moments in history.
Education uses: There is no better way to explore a wonder of the world than through this site. The only shortfall is that students won't find the typical locations that fit nicely into the box of their curriculum. Inquiry-based classrooms: You will fall in love with this exploration of the world.
