During the field trip panorama photos are taken which help students orientate themselves to the field trip environment. Panoramas will appear here during the field trip and may include 'Interactive' panoramas as well as 'still image' panoramas. Questions from the captions are best answered after watching videos, reading a diary, or listening to an audioconference.
