BRING THE CAPITOL TO YOUR DIGITAL CLASSROOM! This virtual tour of the Washington State Capitol offers students and teachers an immersive and engaging digital content experience in the workings of state government without leaving your distance learning classroom. Using state of the art digital technology, students can visit historic spaces where laws are made, important decisions are debated, and citizens actively participate; all the while surrounded by the awe inspiring architecture of the capitol! The Washington State Capitol in Olympia is the centerpiece of representative government for the people of the state and truly represents the peoples house! From the height of its 287-foot masonry dome, to the gilded magnificence of its Tiffany lighting fixtures and its marbled halls, it is an amazing place to discover and experience! This virtual tour utilizes 360’ panoramic views, pre-recorded video clips, voice overs, photos, and text, to bring the capitol building and its inner workings to life! Students will learn about the three branches of government and the importance of voting and public participation in the law making process. Students will be able to virtually visit the chambers of government where laws are made, see how lawmakers vote, and watch real debates! Students can explore the Legislative Building’s Main Entrance, Grand Foyer, House of Representatives and Senate Chambers, Governor’s Office, State Reception Room, Rotunda, and the State Supreme Court where important cases are appealed, reviewed and heard! Immersive, engaging, and educational, the Washington State Capitol Virtual Tour is appropriate for all ages, but is geared specifically to 4th and 5th graders. Tailored to align with the learning standards set for by the Washington State Legislature, and Superintendent of Public Instruction, it is a civic education experience not to be missed! Visit our website for additional information about civic education standards in Washington State and additional virtual tour opportunities at www.des.wa.gov. ENGAGE, EXPLORE, LEARN! We look forward to your virtual visit to the Washington State Capitol!

Cool yet total fail

Requires user to scan a table or yard before use. I did, and an awesome 3D panorama appeared as if on my table. Unfortunately none of the pins work, either by tapping, pinching, or moving into the pin. Plus, you are then geographically tied to the area you scanned. I attempted to rescan using a smaller surface (a file folder) but the app would not recognize or scan. I am mobility limited for the next month due to surgery and hoped I could use this from my recliner but apparently not. Then when I tried to go to the PDF (for “accessibility”) it was “file not found”. It sure looks like a lot of work went into this but sadly a complete fail.Plus, how could this be used while walking around the building? You would need to be constantly rescanning.
