From Filipe
There are new technologies and initiatives appearing every day. As teachers, we are asked to implement a whole host of them with very little notice and little to no funding. We are asked to foster inquiry, offer hands-on learning, embrace new technologies and more. With a simple connection to the Internet and a computer, we can offer students in face-to-face, blended, and online courses the chance to travel abroad to famous places and attractions without leaving the classroom (through virtual field trips). By "virtual field trips" I don't mean visiting a website and reading a whole bunch of text and looking at pictures; virtual field trips allow you to manipulate your tour in 360 degrees, click on info buttons and, in some cases, even receive guided tours online. All of this costs little to no money (other than the internet connection and the computer!) and allows students to explore and learn.

Explore and Engage in a Virtual Field Trip of your own. Some sample links are below. Feel free to find one of your own!
