I used this site frequently last year for taking my class on video conferences/virtual field trips. Some of the conferences charge a fee and some are free. You can search by grade and subject.

    This is a great resource for students learning about different locations. Different from the traditional travel videos which show the normal tourist attractions and provide no personal connections to the audience. Students are exposed to authentic travel experiences and they feel as if they are there. Great for virtual tours.
