Virtual Adventures

Whether you'd like to explore a far off place from the safety your classroom or create your own online exhibit for others to experience, this website provides a great place to begin learning about virtual field trips.

Once you have traveled,
the voyage never ends,
but is played out over and over again
the mind can never break off from the journey.

- Pat Conroy, American writer

Many students come to school with very limited experiences. They may never have left the town or county where they live. Schools help children reach beyond their small world. The learning environments that we create impact the careers students choose and their paths later in life.

Why spend the time and effort? Scientifically-based evidence demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach that combines:

• Authentic learning
• Real-world writing and audiences
• Inquiry-based learning
• Varied learning modalities
• Flexible learning
