I love Virtual Field trips and all that they can offer for you classroom. Virtual Field trips are essentially a way for your students to travel or explore different places around the world without leaving the classroom. Virtual field trips are not subject specific either, meaning that you can use them for any subject. For example if you are covering Early Egypt for a history lesson you could take a virtual field trip to the ancient pyramids and other old artifacts from Egypt! Your can even use them for something as simple as going to the beach and experiencing the different sights. Virtual Field trips are also great to help build background knowledge and provide experiences for students that do not have the opportunity to travel and see simple places. There are many different options when planning a virtual field trips. Some of those options are videos, Nearpod, robot guided, Google Expeditions, and Google tour Builder. I have used Nearpod and it is amazing. Many of these cites have pre-made field trips that you can use or there is an option to build your own. There are tutorials on Youtube that can guide you through this process. I will use Virtual Field Trips to help with students learning and experiences.
In the picture above the students are experiencing a virtual field trip through Google 360.
In the picture above you can see that the students are experiencing a virtual field trip through a projector.
Both of these are wonderful ways to present a virtual field trip to your students.
