Why Virtual Field Trips?
Why Virtual Field Trips?
VFTs offer visitors a way to explore the world through a variety of media. Tours can be used to transport someone to a faraway place, prepare someone for an in-person trip, or as an anchor for place-based learning. Creating VFTs offers authors the opportunity to dive into new technologies and hone their collaboration, feedback, and communication skills.
