Virtual Museum of Canada
Go on a virtual field trip!
I really value the importance of field trips because they offer students real and meaningful opportunities for learning. While a virtual field trip is not "hands-on" it might be interesting to give it a try. If you want to gather more information about a wide variety of topics, try going on a virtual field trip at the Virtual Museum of Canada. Click on the image to the left to give it a try!
