palisade walls at Fort Vancouver.
"It's conceivable that [the tactile learning materials] gave some students,
particularly the totally blind participants, a better kind of visual concept of what
was in the rooms, than going and standing in the middle of the room and then
having it described to them."
"The last time I went to the fort with a group of students in 2020, it poured down
rain the entire time we were there. I don't know how much they took from the visit.
The virtual visit is a little bit more of a controlled environment."
- Steve Lowry, WSSB Social Studies Teacher
