Exploring By the Seat of Your Pants: Virtual Field Trips
I've shared this fantastic resource with you before, but I know that sometimes it's hard to coordinate our specific class schedules with EBTSOYP's virtual field trip schedules. (See all of their upcoming resources on their website here!) However, did you know that they have a YouTube channel? Many of their virtual trips with experts are shared on this channel, where they can be accessed on-demand. While students would lose the live Q and A component of the field trip, they can at least hear the point of view of the expert and see the place/location they visit. Check it out below!

It's easier to trim videos, and now you can export audio only, which is great for podcasting projects. Click here to add the Screencastify extension (if you don't already have it), and check out some of the new features!
