We love field trips at my house. There is no better way to end a study of a particular subject than to "see" what we have been studying. But what do you do if you are studying Mexico? Hop on a plane and plan your fiesta? I didn't think so.
We have found virtual field trips to be a great way to keep the airfare bill down. Sure, you aren't racking up frequent flyer miles, but you don't have to eat airplane food, either. Here is a list of just some of the virtual field trips we have taken over the years. (I told you we liked them!)
