@MrsAllesStudio2 STL has so many free museums I am a bit jealous! We don't have as many options in SGF. #edtechchat #edu5213SBU

Q6: This past year really pushed me to get more creative and realize that there are so many different "experiences" I can give my students IN the classroom with the help of tech. I am going to try out some PBL ideas with virtual field trips this year. #edu5213SBU #edtechchat

@sarahhanawald I realized this as I was typing it...ha!

A5: My district is pretty great about keeping up with technology, but I do think that chromebooks are sometimes lacking in the area of keeping up with sites like Google Earth. #edu5213SBU #edtechchat

@ajpodchaski Southwest Baptist University! Dr. Christine McElhaney is our professor teaching the Current Issues in Educational Technology Master's course.#edu5213sbu #edtechchat

Q4: I think technology made us "get creative" with our trips. The little theater recorded some of their shows for the students. Many of our teachers came up with new ideas (such as Disneyland!) for trips.#edu5213SBU #edtechchat

@Hypepraise @JessicaWarden16 That is an awesome idea! #edu5213SBU #edtechchat

A3: again, as a "specials" teacher I didn't really have to worry about losing out on trips. But I did try to give students virtual trips and support teachers who wanted to do virtual trips in their classroom! #edu5213SBU #edtechchat

@JaclynW41396542 @ajpodchaski I have used the San Diego Zoo Kids website to do a virtual zoo field trip in my class! My students love it. They new just visit the website when they get free time. #edu5213SBU

[Kim Jenkins @Kim_LJenkins]

A2: cont. they also get to visit the Watershed Center, as well as botanical gardens. All super educational and fun unique experiences.#edu5213SBU #edtechchat

[Kim Jenkins @Kim_LJenkins]

A2: as a "specials" related arts teacher...I have never really gotten to go on trips. However, my students usually go to see the little theater (written into curriculum), Wonders of Wildlife, the zoo, and Silver Dollar City. #edu5213SBU #edtechchat

[Kim Jenkins @Kim_LJenkins]

@Hypepraise I also teach in Title 1. I have some that have never even been to a restaurant before. I tried to give them virtual experiences this year!

[Kim Jenkins @Kim_LJenkins]

A1: Educational trips give students a different environment to learn in and experiences that can help solidify and retain information! #edu5213SBU #edtechchat

@JaclynW41396542 @ajpodchaski I just saw there was a tornado in Dexter! Hope you are ok!
