Virtual field trips are ideal broadening our students schema- especially those who may never have the chance to go to some of these places. -Angie Waters]]> 2018-05-17 19:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/261732585 I love the virtual field trips and the mystery skype! What a great way to allow children to explore so many things that they might not have ever had a chance to see. It allows them to get outside of Concord and see how much more the world has in store for them!!! - Michelle Mercado https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/261923041 2018-05-18 13:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/261923041 I enjoyed looking at the Mystery Skype site. They had numerous Skype lessons for students to learn about a variety of topics via live Skype lessons. Mystery Skype allowed students from two schools that were 4,000 miles away from one another the opportunity to ask one another questions in order to discover each school's location. They had a great selection of virtual field trips on this site. I also enjoyed looking over the virtual field trips on the Discovery Education site. They had a very diverse selection of virtual field trips for students that covered some important events that are celebrated each year across the country such as: International Dot Day & Red Nose Day.

It is a great way the students can experience many different things around the world. Given them a variety of future occupations to choose from. In addition, Mystery Skye is great! It allows students to encounter a variety of different experiences far from where they are. I wish we had the technology of today years ago. Our students have the opportunity to be exposed to so much at young ages which is great! https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/263150945 Mrs. Anthony]]> 2018-05-23 19:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/263150945 Global Read Aloud https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/263493344 This is awesome!  I love the idea of having students worldwide reading the same book together and having this shared experience.  I would've loved this as a student.    The list of 2018 contender books all look very interesting, especially Three Pennies, which is about a girl in foster care, and A Boy Called Bat, which is about a student on the autism spectrum.  I would love to connect with a classroom teacher to see how we could help bring this to Beverly Hills.

Virtual Field Trips would allow students the experience and broaden their knowledge of things they wouldn't other be able to experience. This would even be beneficial to ELA students. I viewed several trips that followed different authors. This would be a great way to do an author study. I also enjoyed the Global Read Aloud. I would have to do a lot of pre-planning to make this work, but it would be great to read the assigned book and then discuss with my students as well students in other states and countries. https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264056731 Jeanna Ferguson]]> 2018-05-28 15:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264056731 I really loved the Virtual Field Trips. I think it is a great way for students to be able to experience places that they may never get to visit. It also gives them the opportunity to have a different type of classroom experience, and for them to be more engaged. I also liked looking through the Mystery Skype website. I noticed that there were skype lessons for all areas of content such as literacy, geography, and history. It even has lessons for animals, STEM, and social and emotional health. This is a great way for students to get a live learning experience. https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264107992 Taylor Baker]]> 2018-05-28 22:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264107992 Digital Engagement https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264234425 I think the global read aloud is an awesome idea and a great way to get students engaged in reading as well as teaching them about other cultures! I also really liked the virtual field trips and think it's a great way to teach students of all learning styles.
Emily Neldon]]> 2018-05-29 12:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264234425 Mystery Skype and Virtual Field Trips are a great way to allow students to learn more about other cultures and places that they may not have the opportunity to visit. https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264312564 2018-05-29 16:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264312564 First Grade liked the Mystery Skype ideas but we thought it would have to be altered to use with our students. We like the idea about learning about other cultures and taking Virtual Field Trips using DE. https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264540889 Trott, Simpson, Ragan]]> 2018-05-30 14:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264540889 I think the global read aloud is an awesome idea for students to connect with others worldwide with the same book. The list of titles is also excellent. They have great choices for young readers. I wish I knew about this resource earlier! I also liked the idea of a virtual field trip. It is a great way for students to visit places around the world and get real world experiences, for FREE! https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264775959 Morgan Ritchie]]> 2018-05-31 13:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264775959 Mystery Skype really offers a purpose in learning, instead of just memorizing facts. Virtual Field Trip connects real world with real learning https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264784070 Carlough]]> 2018-05-31 13:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264784070 Collaboration is key. Students are collaborating in so many ways and technology is a big part of those activities. Teaching students about their responsibility as digital citizens is important. The commonsense.org website provides a road map for teachers to teach digital citizenship (scope & sequence). stephanie_ervin https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264918921 2018-06-01 01:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264918921 Mystery Skype...Whoa!!! It's like real life Carmen San Diego. Who wouldn't love to learn about geography and different cultures this way? stephanie_ervin https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264919922 Discovery Ed virtual field trips is something I definitely want to explore with my class now.  They cover all the content areas (math, ELA, science and math).

- S. Ervin]]> 2018-06-01 01:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/264919922 I loved the Virtual Field Trip because it allows the students to be able to learn more about places they would never be able to visit. They can experience all of the ways different cultures are and can see what other places in the world look like. My students will love taking these trips next year. Mystery Skype was neat because the students are learning about other countries and cultures while interacting with them. https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/265041647 -Shelby Davis]]> 2018-06-01 14:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/265041647 Virtual Field Trips and Citizen Science https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/266628956 I introduced our students to Citizen Science this year as we prepared for the City Nature Challenge. We visited both citizenscience.gov and zooniverse.org to help scientists with their research projects. The students LOVED participating in the projects! As we saw with Google Expeditions, the students also love virtual field trips. The trips listed on the DE site look equally engaging and I love that they are already "classroom ready" with alignment to standards and units.

I could definitely use this to "take" students to other countries to learn about that country's favorite sport and how to play along with other interesting facts about that country/state/city. That is so neat!! I also love the idea of virtual field trips!! I participate with a 4th grade class to a museum in Colorado at R Brown McAllister this year and it was really neat how they could "go" to a museum and learn about things in a different climate. https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/267084282 -Terri Van Horne]]> 2018-06-13 20:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/267084282 The mystery skype was pretty cool but I'm not sure if it is K friendly. I think that it seems awesome for upper grades. The virtual Field trip just seemed like YouTube videos so it didn't seem any different than discovery Ed or Brian Pop. The only difference is that it will be easier to link it to content areas because it has done that for you. connie_pilkinton https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/267190423
Connie Pilkinton]]> 2018-06-14 11:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/267190423 The Virtual Field Trip is a very cool option. My students enjoy Discovery Ed and I think the addition of virtual field trips would be very interesting and exciting to try! Also, Mystery Skype would be another way to expose students to a lot of new things as well. https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/267510315 Pruette]]> 2018-06-17 18:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/julie_johnson17/w6k0pgh9ggte/wish/267510315
