Using this virtual tour link would allow students to have an idea of what the Louvre looks like as well as what is on display there. Using this tool gives them the opportunity to look at the classical works without the financial burden or the ocean barrier.]]> 2020-02-06 19:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/441782396 The Rainforest madison_beran https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/442557955 Not many people get the opportunity to travel to a tropical rainforest during their lifetime. This virtual field trip allows them that opportunity. Students will have the opportunity to take a look around them as they move through the forest and are guided through the video. After traveling through the rainforest, students will have time to discuss some free response questions with their peers about their experience as well as discuss with the entire class.]]> 2020-02-08 17:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/442557955 China's Great Forests abigail_crouch https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443256270 This virtual field trips allows students to learn and explore the forests in China.

We looked into using this for a PreK class. We thought this would be good to use as an example for how apples come to us in the stores. I think we would use this because it shows how apple grow and what an orchard looks like without having to take them to an orchard. ]]> 2020-02-11 01:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443421830 News Sources clara_nebel https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443901955 Clara and Callie- For our virtual field trip, we have chosen to focus on news sources. We have also chosen to use a guest speaker (via video call) for this lesson. Our guest speaker will be Madison Pitsch from 1011 News in Lincoln, Nebraska so we have attached the home page link for 1011 News.

4th Grade 
For our virtual field trip, we would bring in a guest speaker to talk about sharks, and then have students spend some time exploring different types of sharks using different websites.  One of these websites is http://www.airpano.com/search.php where students can view 360 photos and videos ]]> 2020-02-11 19:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443926497 Solar System mika_brees https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443926769 This virtual field trip gives the students a chance to explore the solar system, and dig deeper into specific planets. We decided we would start by introducing the website and how it works to the students and then give them time to explore it in small groups. We would end with a whole group share out to give the students an opportunity to share what they have learned. ]]> 2020-02-11 19:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443926769 Courtauld Institute of Art taylor_zehendner https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443981600 The Courtauld is a self-governing college of the University of London. They have a virtual tour that would allow students to view famous works of art from the classroom or home. Students will be able to study these works and identify and describe the different elements and principles used in the different works found in the gallery. ]]> 2020-02-11 20:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443981600 History virtual field trip zachary_potratz https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443992153

Our content area is Special education. We thought of face-timing someone in the grocery store. The person in the store will help the students find the items on their list and pay for the items This gives our students a real life experience that allows students to see the envrionment of the store before going to the store themselves. ]]> 2020-02-11 20:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443994493 Farm Field Trip linnea_buchholz https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443995109 This virtual field trip allows students to take a look at farms they do not get to see everyday. Would work well when looking at how humanity has innovated and created systems to provide food for themselves and others. ]]> 2020-02-11 20:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443995109 Museum of Natural History https://padlet.com/bwdieckhoff/hclvision/wish/443995203 This site provides a virtual tour of the museum, allowing students to zoom and pan over chosen exhibits all over the museum. They can explore areas of interest or given areas that will be studied in the class. We thought we would provide a guiding graphic organizer/handout for students to explore the museum (as a scavenger hunt of sorts).

It includes multiple interactive tours that investigate both the Mayflower and the Wampanoag Homesite. In the content area of Social Studies, this virtual field trip would serve as an excellent lesson primer for early foundations and settlement in America. Additionally, this Scholastic resource includes various lesson guides, plans, and activities for your classroom! (They also align with Common Core State Standards!)
