Abstract	A virtual field trip (VFT) is a technology-based experience that allows children to take an educational journey without leaving the classroom. These multimedia presentations bring the sights, sounds, and descriptions of distant places to learners. Virtual field trips vary in complexity. They can range from a single PowerPoint or video presentation to a multifaceted virtual experience integrating photos, videos, text, audio, video conferencing, and Internet resources. The VFT learning experience does not replace reality but serves to expose children to experiences they typically cannot have. In this article, the author discusses how to make and take virtual field trips in pre-K and the primary grades. He shares some of the benefits teacher-created VFTs offer. (ERIC).
