Virtual Activities

Virtual field trips are guided tours of web sites that have been selected by educators and arranged in a "thread" that students can navigate with just the click of a single button. There are many "ready-made" virtual field trips on the Internet. There are sites that walk the teacher through the process of creating their own virtual field trip.

Virtual scavenger hunts are designed to introduce students to using search engines to find information on the Internet. They focus on a particular theme that the teacher has chosen.
