Since we were unable to go on Field Trips this year, this resource provided an alternate activity that students were extremely engaged and learned about interesting places using many reading and listening skills.

Sadly, some of the videos couldn’t be played because of content limiting from our district. However, the videos that did play, my students found interesting.

This was a thorough and engaging “field trip”. I used it with remote learners for a Memorial Day activity. Students reported loving the assignment and learned a lot form the embedded videos. Highly recommend.

This virtual field trip was great. We watched this the Friday before Memorial Day so the students would understand why we actually have the holiday. It was perfect, thank you.

We used this resource as part of our core Memorial Day learning. Students loved the videos. Some didn’t load on student iPads, but that may be because of the LMS our district uses. This was very informational and engaging.

I love how you can use these both as whole group, parent or individually. I just wish there was a printer friendly version of the slides or a follow along worksheet. I’m still in a school district that doesn’t have one to one technology (I know crazy) and have to share with my teaching partner.

This resource is comprehensive and appropriately sensitive.
