Technology / Virtual Field Trips What are virtual field trips? Virtual field trips are interactive web-based experiences that guide students through an exploration of content about themes, such as a specific place or time. Virtual field trips boost students’ reading comprehension skills, expose them to different cultures and environments and are a great way to engage and encourage technology integration in the classroom - whatever the subject matter may be! Remember these tips when planning a virtual field trip: Stay safe! Make sure all of the sites are appropriate for students. Have a goal! Make sure the purpose is clearly defined. Give it a dry run! Make sure all links and web pages are working in district before students take the field trip. Continue the lesson offline! Supplement the trip by extending it to other content areas.
