Online Field Trips

Sorry for the delay in any new content.  Since taking over the yearbook at school it has consumed a majority of my life.  I have some new things you all might be interested in.  We all know how budgets are getting tighter and schools are less likely able to take field trips.  I have been exploring multiple options on how to compensate for this in a more reasonable way.  Each day this week will be a different free field trip you can take your students on.  Today we will feature two!

The first museum on our trip is the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.  Here you can take a virtual, self-guided tour in which you set your pace to go room-by-room of the whole museum.

How awesome is that!!!  Students can sit back at their own pace a learn about all the great things this museum has to offer, and just think NO CROWDS!!!!  Your computer lab will have to have Adobe Flash Player version 9.0.28 or later.  You can click here to get adobe flash player.

Our second stop we will hop a flight to Europe to take a look at the Virtual Museum.  This museum incorporates artifacts from several different museums brought to you through digital environments and 3-D images.  This gives you the most realistic experience you can get from a virtual environment.

You can view the images chronologically, or by, area, museums, routes, itineraries, or objects.  It's a great way for students to experience that special artifact you are talking about in your class or presentation.  Go a head check it out!!!
