Benefits of Virtual Fieldtrips

 When in-person isn’t: 

• Possible (when time zones, distance, or scheduling make in-person visits impossible, virtual field trips break down those barriers, connecting students with experts and locations around the world in real time)

• Preferable (for students who may find traditional field trips overwhelming, virtual experiences provide a comfortable, accessible alternative, allowing full participation without leaving familiar, supportive environments)

• Efficient (when travel time outweighs instructional value, virtual field trips offer a more efficient option, maximizing learning while minimizing lost classroom time)

• Effective (when students learn best in focused, familiar settings, virtual field trips offer a more effective alternative, delivering rich content without the distractions of an unfamiliar environment)
