Designing Virtual Field Trips

This workshop will enable participants to use Internet resources to design an “electronic field trip” for their students.  Participants will learn strategies and explore resources that educators use to design these field tripsk, as well as tips and tricks to ensure their success.  By the end of the workshop, participants will have developed an effective and engaging virtual field trip that is aligned to their state’s standards.
