What are virtual field trips?
Now students can travel the world without leaving their classrooms by taking a virtual
field trip. Making the connection is as easy as dialing a phone call.Virtual field trips allow students to explore places that they might not have been able to visit otherwise. Elementary school students especially benefit from virtual field trips since their school trips are often limited by distance and time constraints. Students of all ages can experience traveling to far-off locations -- from Antarctica to outer space -- through a virtual trip. Virtual field trips also allow teachers to expose students to places not common in their geographic region.
Though virtual field trips provide students with a range of educational experiences, they are limited in the modes they provide these experiences through. Virtual field trips can only engage students' senses of sight and hearing. Traditional field trips allow students to actively participate in their learning experience by providing opportunities for them to see, hear, smell and sometimes touch or taste the things around them.
