Grade 4 - Panorama

4th graders,
Since Mr. Casal is absent you will do the following assignment, answering the questions as comments.

Once you have successfully posted a comment you can finish work on your "Me2013" Google Presentation.

Have you ever wanted to look at something from above? Have you ever wanted to look at a monument of city from every angle?



A panorama is a wide-angle look at something. 360 degrees is a full circle...

There is a website that has taken 360 degree panoramic images of famous places and made them available for free on the internet. The company uses helicopters and a variety of cameras to make these 360 degree panoramic photos.

These photos are wide angle looks at various places, wide-angle views from every angle in all directions.

Your assignment:

  • Go to the site http://www.airpano.com/
  • Chose one or more of the 360 panoramas (you can select from their home page, from the World Map link, or from their full list)
    • If you have any trouble loading a panorama click on the "iPad/Android" link to get a version that will load more quickly
  • When you open the panorama, explore it, more the image around, look up & down, left & right. Use all the tools such as the ones I've circled in the picture below:



Post a comment with:
  • The name/location of the panorama you looked at
  • The things you observed
  • What  the images made you think of
  • Your thoughts & ideas about the website & pictures in general
