Get Out of the Classroom
Posted on October 31st, 2006 by mkrill
Take your students on a virtual field trip. Virtual field trips are a great opportunity to explore places you can’t actually visit because of time, money, and location. Read Get Outta Class With Virtual Field Trips to learn the what and the why. The how is usually the hard part. The time it takes to create a virtual field trip might be more than you are willing to take on, for whatever reason.
Well, don’t despair. There are many virtual field trips residing in cyberspace just waiting for new travelers. Here is a site to visit ~ there may be a trip already set up that suits your curriculum. And…no cancellations if it’s raining!
From Aquifers to the Iditarod!

Virtual field trips are great! With third grade’s study of the economy, we used to try to take a field trip to a local factory to learn more about producers. Now we can visit many factories all over the world through virtual field trips. Check out this website of factory virutal field trips http://manufacturing.stanford.edu/onlinetours.html. I particularly liked the tour of the Hershey chocolate factory http://www.hersheys.com/discover/chocolate.asp!
