Hey ya'll, here's some info from the NATIONAL PARKS SERVICES regarding accessible virtual tours. We plan to use these to supplement Social Studies activities provided by some Gen Ed teachers. Please consider responding to David with thanks and/or feedback.

NPS Yellowstone App<https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/app.htm> ... Free and available for iOS and Android devices. This has audio tours of a big part of the Upper Geyser Basin (where Old Faithful is located) and Fountain Paint Pot. It also has a large collection of park sites, which the device's accessibility features can dictate, as well as audio description for many of the site. 2. Kids: Places<https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/kidsyouth/places.htm> ... This page provides descriptions of many of the popular places in the park. 3. Audio postcards<https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/photosmultimedia/sonics.htm> ... An aural way to explore Yellowstone and many of its wildlife and natural features. 4. Virtual Tours<https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/photosmultimedia/virtualtours.htm> ... Some of these provide all the content is alternative ways, like Fort Yellowstone, Yellowstone in 3-D, and Upper Geyser Basin Virtual Tour. The rest are map-based, and I'm not sure how navigable they are. Any feedback on this would be appreciated. 5. Places to Go<https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/placestogo.htm> ... We actually have quite a lot of good information in all of these pages, which should be accessible. Hopefully this gives you a variety of ways to explore Yellowstone with your students. I love to receive feedback, so please let me know what worked well, what was lacking, and what additional resources you would like added.
