the Big Pocket Guide to Using & Creating Virtual Field
Trips is an introduction to Virtual Field Trips, or Web
Tours, one excellent solution to organizing information on the web
into manageable and useful educational resources. It is geared specifically
to K-12 educators and teachers in training, in both traditional
and non-traditional settings.
Using & Creating Virtual Field Trips provides
- a broad introduction and general overview on the topic of virtual
field trips in general,
- information about the types of virtual field trips that are
in use, as there can be significant differences between field
trip styles, and explores the pros and cons of each.
- examples of how educators are using field trips in the classroom
and in homeschooling.
- ideas about how students can use the trips at home to aid in
homework, facilitate research, and create online reports.
- an analytical look at a variety of field trip examples selected
from all over the Web--by the time you have finished with that
section of the book, you should be well on your way to developing
a critical eye and able to ascertain with ease whether a given
field trip will be an asset to your curriculum.
- a brief look at TourMaker, Tramline's software tool used for
creating Virtual Field Trips, and finally,
