3. ANOTHER ONLINE TEACHING OPTION IS
VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS
• Slimmer budgets don’t mean you can’t “take” your
class to somewhere.
o It’s also more than just saving money
o “[The GoNorth! site collaboration zones] encourage kids to
create material, not just absorb it.”
• Resources to find virtual field trips:
o Videoconference Program Database
o Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration winners

4. AN IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT: AN ARTIFICIAL,
INTERACTIVE, COMPUTER-CREATED "WORLD”
• An immersive environment could be:
o a model of reality
o a fantasy user interface or abstraction
• Example: Want to take a quick lap through
the Sistine Chapel? (video)
Go spelunking in the
Atlantis Remixed The Sims3
Caves of Lascaux?

5. LET’S HAVE A DEBATE ON FACE-TO-FACE,

Editor's Notes
Link is on the picture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSd6Wc8AEhE&feature=player_embeddedIt takes a certain kind of educator to thrive as a full-time online teacher. Holly Mortimer describes how skills like responsiveness and flexibility are critical to create the best online learning experiences for students.

You can tie these videos with the students’ class prep responses. For example, students may mention the lack of hands-on activities in online learning, then you can direct their attention to Hands-on/Experiential Learning video.

Almost cartoonlike in appearance, it shows a man with the face (or mask) of a bird, engaged in an apparently fatal disagreement with a wounded bison. As the bison uses its head and horns as a weapon, the man falls stiffly back, apparently to his death. Nearby, in the same painting, are a number of other images, including a pattern of dots, a rhinoceros, and a stick with what appears to be a bird on top, all of which add to the sense that there is more to the story than we can discern, today.
