Ten of the best virtual field trips
Le Lovre
With
new technology and its integration into the classroom the term “virtual tour”
is heard more and more often. Le Lovre is one of the best virtual field trips available.
Le Lovre allows students to virtual travel to the Lovre museum. Students can
see and experience all the amazing pieces of history and artwork that decorate
the hallways.
I
am a huge fan of virtual tours or “field trips!” Back when I was in elementary
school I only remember taking a hand full of field trips. Those field trips
included the zoo, aquarium, and movie theater. Even though these field trip
were fun, I never experienced anything incredible, or had “once in a life time”
experience. I was 18 years old the first time I ever went to a “real” museum.
Now looking back it is kind of sad that I did not get the chance to have that experience
in school and at a younger age. I believe virtual field trips are a great way
for our students to see new, exciting, and interesting things beyond just the
everyday zoo field trip.
Space/NASA
We
may be several years from an actual field trip to the moon but now with new
technology we can virtual take our students to the moon! The space virtual tour
is provided by NASA and allows students the opportunity to virtual travel to
the moon. Once to the moon they can explore it. The virtual tour also allows students to
explore Mars!
Again
I am a huge fan of virtual tours and this virtual tour is a perfect example of
why!!! This virtual tour is truly amazing! For many students it is hard to
understand the concept of space because they can’t see it! A lot of times
pictures on posters do not do space any justice. This virtual tour allows for
students to explore moon, well virtually that is! Being able to see the moon
and Mars and other aspects of space virtually will aid students in understanding what space really looks like and other
aspects of space that are otherwise are hard to understand.
