· Virtual Tour of the California Missions: Bob Hoffman, assistant professor in Educational Technology, will demonstrate a virtual tour of the California missions which he is developing. Wearing 3-D glasses, the seniors will be able to enter rooms and "touch and turn" objects which are often off limits at historical sites. Fourth grades who have visited local missions say the virtual tour is better than the real thing.
