Assignment 7 (Virtual Field Trip)

When I first began creating the virtual field trip, I automatically felt defeated. I knew it had to be done so once I started creating the virtual field trip ideas just kept coming and before I knew it I was trying to figure out how to keep it simple. This is a great way to give students a chance to explore several aspects of a topic and keeping them engaged by allowing them the opportunity to interact with the exercises, questions, and videos presented to them. The Virtual Field Trip was also an interactive assignment for myself because I learned new material as I put the questions and assignments together. I decided to do a Virtual Field Trip on the Civil Rights Movement. There was a total of 6 "Stops" created for students to learn about significant events that greatly influenced/impacted the Civil Rights Movement. Each "Stop" give's the student a summary of each key event and a short video giving further details. After the student has viewed the short video, there are 3 questions for the student to answer. Some of the questions are factual but other questions allows the students to use their critical thinking skills. I would definitely use a Virtual Field Trip as a learning tool for my future students.
