Virtual+Adventures

Join us for a 3 hour tour of Virtual Adventures! The Internet is a wonderful resource that enables teachers to take students to places they cannot go in person. Organizations such as museums and art galleries set up online exhibitions that can be easily accessed from classrooms anywhere in the world. Virtual field trips can enhance the content of a lesson by providing an activity that extends students' experiences with a topic by taking them outside of the classroom and into a different environment. The session will be broken into 3 ""stops"" - online virtual field trips, videoconferencing and creating your own virtual adventure. We will begin the session by exploring online virtual field trips and discussing how to integrate these into the classroom. Then we will all experience a virtual field trip via videoconference and learn how to find content for your own classroom. The last ""stop"" will be learning to create your own virtual field trip with Power Point.
