Objectives of "I Want To Visit"...
1. To provide free high quality visual resources to classrooms and students pertaining to history, geography, science or other important fields of interest. Since travel is time consuming and expensive, this site will allow "transport" to places of interest and permit interaction with the locations presented and support inquiry-based learning.
2. To provide access to places of historic, geographic or scientific value to individuals incapable of getting there in person. There are many reasons why someone may not be able to travel extensively, including physical disability, lack of financial resources or inability to commit the time necessary to get there and back. People having these or other limitations can travel there "virtually" and explore and interact with those places almost as if they were there.
3. To encourage travel to these places of interest. For most people, when visiting some place new, they run out of time before they see everything they want to see. This site provides a high quality resource to use in prioritizing time and travel efforts. Many places that sound good on paper prove to be a disappointment in person. Here, one can look first and then decide on the best places to go.
