Virtual Field Trips Using Google Tools

Want to take a field trip from the comfort and ease of your own classroom? Check out Virtual Field Trips Using Google Earth. I recently attended a webinar highlighting many ways Google tools and Google Earth can be used. Participating in Google Earth is a transformational use of technology, without it, we would not be able to do it!

Google Art Project

Take your students to visit art museums around the world and go inside the museum to tour different areas. Options include details of each art piece. Search by artist, museum, collection and more. View this brief video below to learn more. One of the places which can be visited is The White House.

Google Lit Trips for Grades K-5  (click link to see previously created lit trips)

Visit the places from a book on a tour that's already been created or together we could create our own! An example is the book Make Way for Ducklings where you can view the path the ducks took around Boston on Google Earth stopping to learn more and view the swan boats, the Boston Public Garden and more!
