Title:  In My Opinion - The Best Virtual Field Trip


It is approaching the end of the school year.  Financial resources at your school have been tight.  Your principal has just informed you (the teacher) that your class will not be able to take the planned field trip you had scheduled for next week.  You are disappointed and you know your students will be distraught as they were excited about the learning opportunity outside of the walls of your classroom.  Now what?

Wait!  You negotiate a reservation in the computer lab, and create an opportunity for your students to take a virtual field trip.  With little time to create one of your own, you scrammble to find one your students would love.  Read the eSchool News article, Ten of the Best Virtual Field Trips, and select the one you would choose for your students.  Be sure to click on the titles of each trip listed so you can go on the virtual trip. Explain why you would choose the trip, the grade/content it is for, what features you like about the trip, what the students would learn from the trip, and more.  I'll tabulate everyone's choices and see which one came out on top!
