Virtual Field Trips via videoconference
This article talks about a group of California students learning about ecology by videoconferencing with the marine biologists 100 miles away. Technology and Gas Prices Send Students Of Virtual Field Trips
When seventh graders in Stockton took a field trip this week to see elephant seals, they didn't even step outside their school. Instead, with the help of a projector and a video camera, the students teleconferenced with a state park guide on the California coast.
Cool thing is, I'm totally doing this with the Governor's School for Prospective Teachers this week when we videoconference with Mexico. The students here will ask questions in Spanish about how school works there and what subjects they enjoy, then their students will answer in English.
