The session will examine strategies for building background knowledge, setting learning goals, and preparing students with purposeful questions and activities before the trip. During the virtual field trip, educators will explore techniques for increasing engagement through active participation, discussion prompts, and collaborative learning strategies. After the experience, participants will discover ways to extend learning through reflection, project-based learning, creative response activities, and cross-curricular connections.

Whether new to virtual field trips or looking to strengthen student engagement and instructional impact, educators will leave with practical tools to create memorable learning experiences that connect students to the world beyond the classroom.
