Field trips are a student favorite. They can, however, be expensive and impractical. Thanks to technology, kids can still visit museums, historic landmarks and other significant places for free, and from the comfort of the classroom.
Come September, the country will remember those who lost their lives during the terrorist attack on 9/11. Encourage students to be part of the remembrance by taking a virtual tour of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. Teachers can expand on the theme through online exploration of some of history's other tragic events.
Here are five virtual field trips sharing the theme of "Triumph Over Tragedy." Use them to teach about how groups of people can be torn apart, but will never be broken.
