These virtual field trips makes online learning fun! This website is promoting “No more permission slips” as a way to attract the parents or teachers for some extra trip experience without physically going on a trip. This website shows hundreds of different places these kids can explore virtually. This is a really great way for kids that had to do virtual learning, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to feel as though they are exploring these places face to face.

After exploring these virtual field trips, I was shown so many unique and different places. One of these included Japan, where a four time olympic award winner, Katie Ledecky, showed us around Japan and how advanced the country has formed over the years. She also talked a little bit about what she does as an athlete. There are hundreds of more of field trips like this one that goes in depth about the different places around the world that kids wouldn’t even have to opportunity to visit.

As a child, I remember always looking forward to field trips. They were always a way to get out of school to experience different opportunities and explore local areas that I have never learned about before. I also feel as though field trips are a great way to teach kids in a different way. They get to experience the world and learn new information without being in the classroom. However, since our world is evolving tremendously when it comes to technology, this is an amazing way to share more information from all different parts of the world that kids wouldn’t be able to experience in real life. This tool is definitely something that I will be sharing within my classroom with my future students, so they can experience new places outside of the lesson plans throughout the school day. Having this as a take home assignment for kids would be something I would include because this is something they would look forward to after a long day in the classroom.
