Virtual Field Trips for Fall

With the emergence of open education and virtual technologies, the days of struggling to raise money for field trips for a select few are over. This fall, you can take the entire class on a camping trip, or to the Louvre or even to the moon, all without a single fundraiser! Pack your bags for these 5 virtual field trips that will be sure to have every student excited about the destination.

The Louvre

There is another way to visit the Louvre! Stroll the famous galleries, gaze unfettered at great masterpieces, enjoy the splendor of the building … its all possible when you take a virtual tour of the Louvre, thanks to the sponsorship of Shiseido.

The Moon

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what it would be like to travel there one day? This NASA resource will give your students the opportunity to do just that when they experience A Day Aboard the Space Shuttle

Washington DC

What better way to learn how our government works than to see it in action? the.Gov looks at how the government works. Watch and see how actions in Washington D.C. affect you and your community, including elections, campaigns and policy-making on the Hill.

North Pole

A visit to the North Pole might not bring you Santa Claus, but it will bring you a new perspective on climate and our place in that great mechanism. Now students can explore the polar climate and its connections to the global climate as they take a virtual field trip to the North Pole!

Camping Trip

The cold, crisp air of fall can’t stop a camping trip, especially when its virtual! In this activity, students practice their addition and subtraction skills as they plan a classroom camping trip. Who knows what they will discover when they arrive?
