Virtual Field Trips
Annotated Bibliography: In the article I chose about virtual field trips the author talks about the benefits of virtual field trips, and how easy they are for teachers to incorporate into the classroom. One of the many benefits of virtual field trips is that you can take your students to anywhere in the world on any given day. It is also extremely simple for teachers to make their own virtual tour anything they want with simply just a camera. This article was written to show educators how easy it is to give your students opportunities see things they may not have been able to see before. The article, which is only a year old, came from an educational website filled with information about new technology in education. In my opinion virtual field trips are the future for field trips in schools. With school budgets getting smaller every year it is cheaper to go on a virtual trip than actually travel to your destination. Students won't be missing all of their other classes just so they can go on a field trip for one of there other classes. For the video, it covered pretty much all of the benefits of virtual field trips that I listed above. This video was created by a technology company that very much knows what there talking about. After watching this video it confirmed my belief that this is the future of education.
