Ever wanted to take your students on a fields trip to a historical location or site of scientific importance, but couldn’t due to distance, funding, or other issues? Want to add depth and breadth to the curriculum for your high-ability students, and create a richer learning environment in your classroom? Virtual field trips are a tool you can use to accomplish just that!
Check out eFieldTrips for a wide variety of virtual adventures including bat study at the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, understanding of the impact of key historical events such as the Dred Scott Decision and Brown v. Board of Education, investigating the events prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, exploring the geological effects of earthquakes, and more.
The Utah Education Network (UEN) also offers a number of Utah-oriented virtual field trips on their site, as well as a tool to create your own virtual field trip – what a GREAT multi-media extension project for high-ability students!
