Due to budget cuts, many teachers lack the essentials like pens and paper. So for most schools, even a small field trip to the local bakery or theater is too much to ask.

Well, today I’m going to show you how to make lemonade out of lemons!

Virtual field trips are becoming more and more popular (so popular that you demanded we do a webinar about them).

Why?

1. They’re free.
2. They don’t take a lot of time to set up.
3. No applications or paperwork to fill out.
4. Every student in the class can go.
5. Students love them because they’re fun.
6. Teachers love them because they get students involved and engaged.
7. Did I mention they’re FREE?

I promised you lemonade — so I searched for hours and found THE BEST free online virtual field trips.
