What can be done if an actual field trip is not possible?
A single field trip can be related to a variety of components within a curriculum. Literature sources often have a variety of books available that are related to most places and people within any community. Since an integrated approach can enhance most learning, it simply makes sense to plan field trips within this context. As the internet continuously expands, it is becoming increasingly possible to use virtual field trips via computer to places inaccessible to the children’s location. Commercial sites (dot-coms) typically require payment for virtual field trips, whereas non-profits (dot-orgs) frequently provide such experiences for free. This allows children in an urban area to experience rural situations and vice-versa.
