Alcatraz Virtual Tour!

Are you ready for a quick virtual tour to the Alcatraz!


Well gosh be darn.. We are in the middle of a pandemic and we need to explore! As a teacher candidate, I plan to implement virtual tours to engage in a rich learning environment. Virtual field trips provide opportunities for teachers and students to make personalized connections with the curriculum through an online learning environment. Through the use of technology students can be motivated and gain interest in new content areas. 

Lets explore -> Alcaztra was a military prison in 1868 and a federal prison from 1933 until 1963. It is situated on a rocky outcrop within San Francisco Bay. It may only be 1.5 miles to the mainland but due to the strong currents and cold water temperatures, it’s almost impossible for prisoners to escape. Or so they were told. Alcatraz is now a popular tourist attraction thanks to our obsession with dark history.
