Grade 7 to 12: Bringing Students out into the world

In an intermediate/senior classroom, a virtual field trip can transport the students outside of the classrom to visualize and experience their learning. Concepts can be brought to life and made real by their presense in our world; allowing students to gain insight into the value of their learning - what they learn has value beyond the walls of the classroom. With knowledge, each student can create and make a impact on the world they live in.
