What child wouldn't want to take a virtual tour somewhere. I could bring my class on a virtual field trip to anywhere in the world. We could see The Great Wall of China or even to the Everglades. I could show my class a tour of Niagra Falls or the volcano's in Hawaii. Just imagine the possibilities that each child could experience.
With a camera and websites like Screen-Cast-O-matic, I could make my very own virtual field trip to places that we are planning to take a real field trip to. I believe that this would be a really good thing to do with my class.
I know that a field trip is way better in person because you get to experience things first hand, but in all reality, who really has that kind of money to take a trip around the world to multiple destinations?
Virtual field trips are usually free. Free field trips are a good thing. We could take a virtual field trip any time that we want. But, in my class, I would use virtual field trips for rewarding my students with good behavior.
That's all for this week. I am really excited to see what next week holds for me in EDTC-245
