Interactive Virtual Field TripsThe Virtual Field Trip (VFT) offers an
opportunity for your class to participate in a close-up, two-way videoconference with an expert, a museum, or a vendor to learn and explore in a new and unique way.

Teacher TestimonialMolly,
We had the rock VFT this morning. It was good. They sent a huge box of specimens. The kids were in groups of 3-4 and each had samples to handle and examine. I wish you could have seen the presenter. She was probably in her 50's with a big gray mohawk. She was engaging and the kids liked her. Thanks so much!!
Jana (Orchard-Clearwater Schools)

“Field trips provide students with a window to the real world that they don't get in the classroom, and they can help students understand real-world applications of seemingly abstract topics in math and science. For example, engineers may often use formulas taught in Algebra II, calculus, and chemistry classes.
~U.S. News and World Report: Education
Teachers: Don't Overlook Value of Field Trips
