How it Works:

These virtual field trips can be conducted teacher-led or shared with students through Google Classroom as an independent assignment. Everything is set up for you. These resources are LOW PREP and would even make great sub plans. Student directions are found within the lessons, and direct links are included to specific Google Earth™ locations and videos. All work is completed digitally. No printing necessary.

Structure:

These virtual field trips are structured. This means that the informational text and links are meaningful and are meant to lead students to think critically as they respond to the questions throughout the virtual field trip. This is also a great way to keep students accountable as they learn and explore. All response questions are EDITABLE, so you can tailor to your class needs. Students complete this activity in edit mode of Google Slides.

Grading Rubric:

A grading rubric is included which assesses: accuracy, thoroughness, validity, and writing conventions. Answers will vary throughout, as students are recording their observations and findings. An answer key is included for the map skills slides.

Technology:
