Classroom Photos Collection
Take a peek into classrooms far distant without packing your suitcase or leaving your computer. The Featured Classroom Photos section of the Teachers.Net Gazette hosts individual snapshots as well as full photo tours of schools and classrooms, submitted by teachers like you, and we've compiled them here. After enjoying your virtual tour of the host teachers' classrooms, we hope you will grab your camera, capture some scenes from your classroom, then submit them to Gazette Editor Kathleen Carpenter. We'll post them in a future edition of the Teachers.Net Gazette. (We prefer not to display photos showing students' faces.)
