I chose the category number 3 which is the Virtual Field Trip. I think this is a great resource because since as how the economy is right now, students and teachers can benefit from a virtual field trip without having to spend so much money on a field trip. While doing an actual field trip is a whole different experience, at least doing a virtual can help you get the point across. You can dress up or ask your students to dress up too. You can decorate the classroom as if it were a jungle, have a radio playing jungle sounds and give a tour of the Amazon. That way, kids can still learn and be entertained and also not have to leave the classroom.
Other options you can use is just have the virtual tour on the classroom. Some websites actually allow you to create the tour yourself. I think that i can take my students on a virtual tour to an art museum, an interesting or exotic country. There are more places that I can take them as well. I think that if you have enough creativity, students can enjoy the virtual tour just as much as an actual one. Some advantages of a virtual one is of course the fact that you're not spending as much money as you would with an actual trip. There are safety precautions because they are always on your sight. Some disadvantages are that the experience might be better if it is in person, so that students can have a different experience instead of being in the classroom all the time.
