Amplified K12, Virtual Field Trip, Journey to Mars

Interviews

At Innocademy

Summery

The common theme throughout the interviews was that immersive experiences are critical to the overall quality of the field trip. The negative moments were often the most memorable because they added spontaneity to the experience. Safety is a big concern among teachers and chaperones. Transportation and travel could be frustrating at times depending on the length of time. The smaller the group size, the more effective the field trip is.
