caroline B. –
My students love all of the virtual field trips and so do I. However some of the videos on the Veterans Day were not accessible when assigned to them in google classroom. Any tips of feedback on this? (slides 7, 8 12 and 14 if i remember correctly) Thanks

Hi Caroline. All of these videos are our original videos, so they are accessible and you never have to worry about them going out. If you are having issues, it’s your school or district restrictions. I recommend reaching out to your tech team to request they enable access.
I hope this helps.

My students absolutely love these virtual field trips! They get so excited whenever I say we are going to be doing one, and they even ask to do them all the time.

It’s such a fun way to spark curiosity and keep students interested in learning. Highly recommend!

Samantha R. –
I used this in a 1st grade classroom, and I definitely thought it was going to be something completely different. I think it is a very good resource, but it leans towards being most appropriate for upper elementary learners. It was like nails on a chalkboard trying to get my 1st graders to watch the embedded videos.
jonathan (verified owner) –
Hi Samantha. This is not designed for first grade. It’s designed for 2nd-5th. We do have a Veteran’s Day VFT for K-1, but this one is clearly labeled for 2nd-5th. We do our best to make that clear by tagging the grades and explaining the ages in the description. I recommend looking at the grade level and description before making a purchase in the future to prevent spending money on something that won’t work for your class. This also prevents low reviews on teacher authors’ resources since we try to provide the information you need to make informed purchases. Hopefully, this helps in the future. Julie
