Virtual field trip resources
When speaking to students about their favorite subjects, social studies rarely comes up. However, social studies is an important subject area in its own right. Not only is it a perfect subject for cross-curricular integration, but its content is important to making our students into literate citizens. One way to spice up your social studies curriculum is with a virtual field trip.
A virtual field trip is similar to a regular field trip in the sense that the students are experiencing a place that is not the classroom or school. However, with a virtual field trip they can experience a new place without ever leaving their desks. With a virtual field trip you can go almost anywhere in the world - or even outer space without spending any money or resources at all!
