I was trying to brainstorm ideas for my independent project when I remembered my trip to France a few years ago. I was so fascinated by the history ad places, which is what I'm basing my project off. This will be updates on the information I learn about places in France and the history behind them.

It is a symbolic, historical landmark ordered by Napoleon to be built in 1836. It is a monument to all that died in the Napoleonic wars and French revolution. That is some of what I learned today.]]> 2019-01-31 18:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dempseypd1/us0r6vvw2a7k/wish/326406761 dempseypd1 https://padlet.com/dempseypd1/us0r6vvw2a7k/wish/329030298 I was at home and decided to continue my research to another landmark. I went to the Palace of Versailles, a very popular, extravagant, place in France. I learned of its humble beginnings, being but a mere hunting lodge, but having it grow into a castle for Louis XIV. It was a political powerhouse and remained that way until Paris became it later on. That is a little about the Palace of Versailles.]]> 2019-02-08 00:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dempseypd1/us0r6vvw2a7k/wish/329030298 dempseypd1 https://padlet.com/dempseypd1/us0r6vvw2a7k/wish/331087636 I was at home and learned about the Eiffel Tower. It was built in 1889 to celebrate the centenial of the French Revolution and show the architectual ability of France. Named after its builder, Gustave Eiffel, it was the entrance of the Worlds Fair, but wasn't liked at the beginning because it was "ugly". It soon grew on the French people and became one of France's most famous landmarks.]]> 2019-02-13 23:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dempseypd1/us0r6vvw2a7k/wish/331087636 dempseypd1 https://padlet.com/dempseypd1/us0r6vvw2a7k/wish/340973789 Right now, in my research, I think I am complete. I have update my 360 tour of multiple French Landmarks and have provided information of the history and what it's like to be there. My places are: The Eiffel Tower, The Arc de Triomphe, The Palace Of Versailles, and the Lourve. What I need to complete is setting up the expeditions program/VR headset because there have been many technical difficulties with it so far and we need to work the bugs out. That is my progress.]]> 2019-03-13 16:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dempseypd1/us0r6vvw2a7k/wish/340973789 dempseypd1 https://padlet.com/dempseypd1/us0r6vvw2a7k/wish/351229615 In my work for G&T, so far I have encountered techincal difficulties for a month and a half about now, and we finally made a small breakthrough. I have updated my project a small bit and it is finally done. I still am working on the headset setup, but I'm getting there.]]> 2019-04-12 16:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dempseypd1/us0r6vvw2a7k/wish/351229615
