A virtual museum takes students and teachers on a "virtual tour" in their learning.  In some examples, virtual museums can use Virtual Reality Software to create 360 degree panoramic views to take students through a virtual tour of a student-generated museum.  Software such as VR Worx, and Quicktime VR are both excellent programs used to create such a project.  To see an example of a museum created by grades two and three students, visit Parkdale Elementary's Virtual Pioneer Museum website from 2001-2002.  The programs are both easy to use.  In this example, grade two and three students took all of the photos and even generated the object movies.
