Virtual Field Trips

A Virtual Field Trip is an online activity that gives you exposure or an experience of some place you are unable to visit in person.  Often virtual field trips are similar to a Web Quest.  To get started taking  a virtual field trip, all you need is access to the internet.  

Kim Foley, author of The Big Pocket Guide to Using & Creating Virtual Field Trips, defines virtual fields as; guided explorations through the Web that organizes a collection of pre-screened, thematically based web pages into structured online learning experiences.  Interactive Video Conferences and Virtual field trips give teachers the opportunity to have their students visit museums, zoos or even talk with scientists from NASA without leaving the classroom.
