Virtual Building Tour at Lincoln
5th grade students prepared a walking tour of Lincoln School and its surroundings to highlight changes that occurred throughout the years. The students photographed, edited, recorded student audio, created QR codes and assembled the brochure. The QR Codes on the brochure can be scanned to hear the students speak about specific landmarks. Students then helped to create a Google Slide presentation from the brochure. All were invited to view the virtual building tour created for Lincoln School’s Centennial day.
