Panorama Photographs on your Whiteboard

Posted on Jul 4, 2009 in Activity Ideas, Interactive Whiteboards, Useful Links | 2 comments

Here’s a cool website that lets you view panorama images from around the world in a similar way to Google Street View (and in fact it will link with Google Earth apparently)

There’s a wide range of different panoramas online, and you can pan around and zoom in to your hearts content. Would be great on your interactive whiteboard. Many of the scenes will be very different to those available on Street View, and some of them are even indoors.

For example here’s a link to Westminster Abbey, London, at night, showing the Remembrance Day poppies. This is one of the few British panoramas on there. There are lots in Spain and France though.

Your interactive whiteboard can be used really well as a “window on the world” – and this is a great way of viewing other places with some added “wow” factor.

  1. Thanks for news of this site. I’m creating a series of panoramic images specifically for the geography classroom – see this page: http://www.juicygeography.co.uk/panos.html

    I use http://www.360cities.net to host the images as the interface is very quick and the images appear in a native Google Earth layer (look under the Gallery)

  2. cheers Noel.. good luck with the site, looks interesting
