The internet is amazing in so many ways. One of my favorites is that it allows us to go just about anywhere in the world and virtually experience sights and sounds we may never get to witness in our lives up close and personal.
This link contains just a few examples of places we can go and "explore" on a virtual field trip.
Take some time go visit beautiful or interesting or special places. Then copy and paste the information from this link into a Word document. Please take a few minutes to answer the questions and save the Word document in the Virtual Field Trip folder on your s:drive.
Thanks to Martha Thornburgh for the great information and help in creating this assignment.
Enjoy everyone!
Please comment! Tell us a little about where you went and something interesting you observed or learned.
P.S. There are so many places in the world that now have webcams. Something else you can try is to Google the name of your favorite place and webcam. There is a good chance that place has a webcam of its own!

Dear Mr. Pahl, I did not get to go to the monster mash but I really was looking forward to going. I bet that it was really fun, but I would be happier if I was there that day so that I could make a monster picture. Also I saw a lot of cool pictures some of the pictures looked really alike to the real picture, so I hope that you and all the other students and parents that have gone to the monster mash had fun. Best Wishes, Hannah

ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteWhen I did the virtual field trip I decided to go to the Smithsonian Museum. It was really funny because Sarah kept following me and there were hilarious items or objects. I wish I could go to the IMAX Theater though to watch a movie.

Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteDoing the virtual field trip was really fun but it still wasn’t better than going to a field trip in real life. What I spent most time doing was following Charlize in the Smithsonian Museum. My favorite virtual field trip was the Smithsonian Museum.
