My Project

My school is a Title 1 school and many of the my students do not get to leave this small town and travel. With the Virtal Field Trips, I can let my students explore various landmarks and landscapes around the world. I teach elementary students so they will be able to go to various countries to experience different cultures around the world. We will use these for USA Research projects! They’ll have to figure out what the weather is like and what the colonists might have worn. Students would get the chance to see how cultures are different around parts of the world.

My students would really love to be able to view locations virtually because many don’t experience locations besides our small town, so these Virtual Trips will help them be able them see new surroundings.
