Check out this great list of websites you or your students can use to have a virtual field trip. Having your students navigate some of the field trips on the interactive whiteboard is a great way to get kids involved in the learning process. Another idea would be to create a webquest and have the students explore the resources on their own.
Another option for a virtual field trip is to get in contact with Pete Royer at LCTN. They offer a wide variety of online field trips including, knee surgery, autopsies, MN Wolf Center, MN Historical Society, etc... If you are interested in taking advantage of this great service, contact Pete Royer (pete@lctn.k12.mn.us) and he will send you all the information you will need.
Your class could also utilize the Skype an Author Network to bring real writers into your classroom. Many of the authors in this network offer this service free of charge or are free to chat for up to 15 minutes with your classroom. Students would love to be able to meet the person who wrote the story they just read. Give it a try today!
