This was a wonderful course! I am excited to use virtual fieldtrips with my kindergarteners in the spring while we are learning about trees. It's going to make learning so much more engaging!

This class was very helpful and easy to follow. I learned how to use virtual field trips to make lessons more exciting and meaningful for students. The course showed me how place-based learning can connect kids to the world around them, even when we can’t travel. The resources, examples, and step-by-step guidance made it simple to understand how to add virtual field trips into my teaching. I feel more confident using these tools, and I know my students will enjoy learning this way.

Really enjoyed the course! I was able to use what I learned in my own classroom immediately.
