Virtual field trips can expand learning beyond the classroom by providing hands-on experiences through technology. They allow students to explore places and topics in an engaging way without leaving the school. When creating a virtual field trip, it is important to have clear learning objectives and keep the experience focused and brief to hold students' attention. Follow-up offline activities can help students continue their learning from the virtual experience. Teachers can also have students create their own virtual field trips to supplement topics covered in class.
