Field trips can be amazing learning experiences. They provide students with the opportunity to actively participate in education, offering learning possibilities that aren't readily available in the classroom. Unfortunately, it isn't always practical or possible to take students on field trips. Tight budgets, location, transportation, time, and resource restrictions can keep your students school-bound. Virtual field trips can fill this void. Virtual field trips have come a long way from the page of links they used to be. Now students can explore the world with simulations that are so realistic, they will believe they have left the classroom. Below are five of the best virtual field trips on the web:

Spelling City is a fabulous site for practicing spelling, I have written about its uses in the classroom before (here and here). Spelling City has just added a new feature that teachers are going to love, the ability to add your own sentences on Spelling City! Now you can customize your spelling lists to fit your needs. For example, if you are studying fish and one of your spelling words is "scales", the default sentence that Spelling City might offer is "The scales were not giving the weights accurately." Now as you create a list, you can click on "add" and type a new sentence to fit your classroom needs. The feature is also extremely useful for homonyms (our fifth graders are using this feature this week!). For the teacher created sentences, the audio read of the sentence will be done by a sophisticated voice synthesis. \n

Create an online community of your classroom Share inspiration, ideas, reading, thoughts, Post discussions, deadlines, homework Instantly create surveys for students Keep parents informed of daily projects

This site is so cool. I went in and set up an account and added some people to a class. It was so easy. This will be a terrific site for educators. You can set up your students in a private class account. You can then post questions for them to comment to. You can post items on a calendar, bookmark sites you want them to review, hook up with other classes to collaborate and share, create surveys. I think teachers are going to love it. It is free. When you create your account, the information students need to get to your created class is generated by you and as long as you give them the class code and their password they should be able to get in.

"Augmented reality is making some huge inroads in the field of education. More and more teachers are incorporating this relatively new technology in their classrooms. Augmented reality is also redefining the notion of learning by adding a layer of interactivity, engagement and vividness to students learning experiences. Teachers have been using augmented reality in many varied ways and across different school subjects, this post from Edutopia provides some good examples in this regard. The success of AR in education is attributed to the increasing availability of mobile apps designed specifically to help learners leverage the power of AR in their learning.  Below are some very good AR apps to try out with your students. This is a work in progress and we will be adding more to the list in the future. Enjoy"
