Indigenous People Virtual Tour

Here is a virtual tour of the Indigenous People.
Third Grade Social Studies
Standard 2
Students will understand cultural factors that shape a community.
Objective 2
Explain how selected indigenous cultures of the Americas have changed over time.
  1. Describe and compare early indigenous people of the Americas (e.g. Eastern Woodlands, Plains, Great Basin, Southwestern, Arctic, Incan, Aztec, Mayan).
I chose to do a virtual tour on the ancient indigenous people because I thought that this would be a fascinating way to get this subject started. I am interested in these people and I want to get my students excited by interacting with them in a way.
A google earth tour would be much better than any other instructional method to introduce this topic because it will easily catch the students' attention. They hopefully will be excited to learn more. This will allow them to explore the subject matter before we even really delve into it.
