There are four different ways to interact with the tour including the story, pictures, video, and audio. Students can use these various ways cohesively to obtain the best experience possible. Through the use of each aspect of the tour students are gaining knowledge and statistics about the history of Ellis Island. Throughout the tour students get the opportunity to meet five different immigrants and learn about their story through videos and passages. Following the interactions with the immigrants, students can examine immigration data to understand the populations of people and where they have arrived from. Finally, students watch the actual video of the virtual field trip. Through the use of each dimension of the virtual field trip students are gaining knowledge about Ellis Island and the many statistics due to the arrival of immigrants.]]> 2018-11-27 15:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ae92/i22aovqfciwo/wish/308334872 Lesson Objective ae92 https://padlet.com/ae92/i22aovqfciwo/wish/308336391 After participating in the Ellis Island virtual field trip, students will demonstrate their understanding of statistics related to populations, such as immigrants, by participating in the virtual field trip and determining the percentage of immigrants from each continent in a ten year period from the data on the website and create a pie chart based on where immigrants came from to Ellis Island.]]> 2018-11-27 15:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ae92/i22aovqfciwo/wish/308336391 Brief Description of the interactive activity that accompanies the field trip ae92 https://padlet.com/ae92/i22aovqfciwo/wish/308336527 Choose one decade. Look at the total number of immigrants that came from each continent during this ten-year period. Now determine the percentage of immigrants from each continent in this time period.

Using your answers from the project above, make a pie chart.

  • Look at safety, educational value, and expense when deciding on a field trip
  • Make sure the location can accommodate your grade level and students with special needsCost- Will your students be able to afford it? Will the school be able to afford it?
  • Find and confirm transportation ahead of time. Make sure you have activities to keep children entertained throughout the potentially long bus ride
  • Send permission slips home at least a month in advance and find chaperones 
  • Plant seeds of prior knowledge in class 
  • Create a post-trip activity or assignment for students when you return

    •  Place-based learning is built around projects that use local geographical, historical, ecological, and cultural attributes of a community as meaningful starting points for learning. 
    • Students are energized by the excitement and anticipation of leaving the school environment.
    •  Students have the opportunity to see new things and learn about them in a more unstructured way. 
    •  Students will experience a more holistic, integrated picture of the information that, in the classroom, may have only been presented in a textual and abstract way.

Embedded assessment strategies include providing for adequate pre-field trip briefings, checks on student understanding of purposes and expectations, formative checks during the experience and in post-field debriefings, as well as assessments of final products, performances or exhibitions (Tuthill & Klamm, 2003).]]> 2018-11-27 15:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ae92/i22aovqfciwo/wish/308337392 Using Aritifacts to support field trips ae92 https://padlet.com/ae92/i22aovqfciwo/wish/308337545 Advantages of replacing field trips with virtual field trips are that the student can control the pace of the presentation, the computer assignment can be made at an appropriate time, and after the prerequisite material has been studied Students can "visit" sites anywhere in the state (or globe!) without leaving home. This can help to overcome problems of rural isolation (Tuthill & Klemm, 2002). ]]> 2018-11-27 15:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ae92/i22aovqfciwo/wish/308337545 Standard lw131 https://padlet.com/ae92/i22aovqfciwo/wish/308339177 NY-6 Statistics and Probability 1b. Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population.
