Virtual field trips are an awesome way to help students visualize what they are learning about or making connections to their learning. Since we already have a kit... Expeditions are very inexpensive field trips.For example I had a third grade class that was reading a book that took place in Egypt and that classroom teacher took her students, using Google Expeditions, to Egypt to see the Pyramids. Another class, 2nd grade, was reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and they virtually visited a chocolate factory. There are a lot of Expeditions that can be used with science or social studies standards. You could use an Expedition as a writing prompt. If you think outside of the box, any of the Expeditions that include numbers in the information for each slide can be used to create math problems. See video below.
I created a Google Expedition for the Tour of Standish so that 3rd grade classes at Edna Libby and Steep Falls don't have to take the tour via a bus ride. Link Here Also below is a tutorial video on how to search for Expeditions on your iPad. On your laptop search here or check out this Doc. When you make an appointment with me please let me know which tour you would like to do.
