Virtual Field Trips
2
What are virtual field trips? Virtual field trips are computer-generated environments that offer media-rich interactions with a particular location, such as laboratories, museums, parks, zoos, even other countries. The components of a virtual field trip include content background information, images/animations, QuickTime movies and VR, sound/music, video, online forums, additional links, educational materials, and more. The experience enables students to make learning connections that extend the content into a context. Virtual field trips are often free, but some do require subscription rates for multiple trips. But the best part is interaction!
