- 7. #YorkMLK16 @mollyaschoff Teacher Testimonial Molly, We had the rock VFT this morning. It was good. They sent a huge box of specimens. The kids were in groups of 3-4 and each had samples to handle and examine. I wish you could have seen the presenter. She was probably in her 50's with a big gray mohawk. She was engaging and the kids liked her. Thanks so much!! Jana (Orchard-Clearwater Schools)

- 12. #YorkMLK16 @mollyaschoff “Field trips provide students with a window to the real world that they don't get in the classroom, and they can help students understand real-world applications of seemingly abstract topics in math and science. For example, engineers may often use formulas taught in Algebra II, calculus, and chemistry classes. ~U.S. News and World Report: Education Teachers: Don't Overlook Value of Field Trips

Editor's Notes
- What do you do when there is NO money to put gas in the bus to take your students on field trips? The answer is Virtual Field Trips (VFTs)! Come learn how you can expand what you are doing in your classroom through video conferencing. Connect to Authors, experts, or theme based specialists. Bring a zoo, farm, or forensic expert into your classroom without leaving the school parking lot. The world is the limit.
- Survey the crowd to see how many elementary teachers, middle school, high school, specials?
- Ask if they took field trips in Elementary School & where? Middle School & where? High School & where? College & where? What do you do when there is NO money to put gas in the bus to take your students on field trips?
- Who has done a VFT before? Where did you go? How did your kids like it?
- You don’t have to leave school, no gas or lunch money! Sometimes it is just a regular teacher that has become the HAL instructor. Kids (families) don’t get to go places like they once did.
