The website itself was created by a former teacher, a mother of a special needs student, and an active traveler. She understands that there is so much to see in the world and she wants to share it with every classroom teacher.

All the content is created by educators. They are not created by unknown users, but by actual educators who have done research on the topic.

Virtual field trips are a great way to "travel" without actually leaving the classroom. It will save any teacher time from calling companies to setup bus transportation and creating permission slips.

The videos are created to match all national and 50 state standards for grades kindergarten through 9th grade.

Online activities, worksheets, and quizzes were already created to go along with the video content. No need for searching or creating something on your own.

Any user device friendly and can be accessed anywhere.

Easy to share links for student access at home.

There is no free option. If you click on a video, it will only give you a few minute example of what the video contains, but a membership will have to purchased to watch the full video.

The quizzes, activities, and worksheets do not come for free. They have to be purchased under a membership plan also to have access to this content.

The single membership option varies by video and does not give you access to other videos of that same price point.

Videos cannot be downloaded from the website itself. They are copyrighted and only avilable for viewing on the virtualfieldtrips.org website. They can be linked to any Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Linkedin, and Instagram account that you do have for sharing.
