Tutorials

Our online training sessions are hosted at TAPPED IN™. Currently, we are offering two sessions per month, one on virtual field trips and one on TourMaker. Each session stands alone as a whole so if you can't make one, feel free to participate at another session!

TBA Virtual Field Trips at www.field-trips.org
4:00-5:00pm PDT/7:00-8:00pm EDT
If you have an interest in using virtual field trips in your classroom, come explore these trips on hurricanes, dinosaurs, Shakespeare, poetry, flight, endangered species and more. The trip interface is simple to use for both teachers and students. Trips are designed for safe and focused use of the internet and provide a great springboard for research on any of the trip subjects. Many also have cross-curriculum applications.
