I love digital field trips because they spark genuine excitement for learning and give students the chance to explore places they may never get to see in person. This Magic Kingdom digital field trip invites students to plan a trip to Walt Disney World from their own location, researching whether it makes more sense to fly or drive, how long the journey would take, and how much it would cost. Students also explore Disney restaurant menus, choose their own meals, and calculate the total cost at t

Get your kids test ready with this intro to coding. These are easy as classwork as part of a warm-up, sub plan, or just to work on logical thinking. Level #1: Code Provided - make the graph from provided code x2 (check with answer key) If incorrect, go back and debug. Level #2: Graph Provided - create the Code Level #3: Graph Provided, student writes code then folds paper and switches with a partner. This allows them to write and solve a code. There are multiple graph options so they won't be

A fun way to search on Google, take notes from videos and answer questions about the amazing Italy and all it has to offer. What I love most about this project is that it talks about some of the histories of technology and helps covers some of the standards I was having trouble covering in my classroom. Also has the kids type some! Please see samples! PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK/RATE MY PRODUCTS AND FOLLOW ME :) This product is one of my most downloaded products, I'm hoping to get feedback soon

This is my 2nd grade computer science curriculum, hand created to help save money for our district. It uses all free software and intentionally moves between multiple websites to provide the best learning experiences for students. Throughout the year, students build a wide range of skills—sometimes practicing typing and keyboarding, other times learning about sound, animation, inventions, and even augmented reality. (Full year curriculum)Color Coordinated Each lesson includes a description and

Please see samples! This field trip will start your kids off at their school! They will be asked to mapquest how long it will take to get to their closest airport and how many miles. (Younger kids you can give them airport name. I've used this field trip for 4th-seniors) London Questions Sample: How much will our flight be? How long will the flight be? What is the current temperature in London? What is the name of the large ferris wheel? List 3 interesting facts about this ferris wheel. How m

This includes my K-2 camp, 3-4 camp, and 5-6. All are similar practice plans with age appropriate changes and challenges. The K-2 camp is made for a 2 day camp that lasts and hour but could be stretched to a 1 hour 3 day camp also. The 3-6 grade camps all are assuming 1.5 hour camps for 3 days. I am a varsity volleyball coach that has coached multiple levels and done MANY MANY kids camps and decided to put in writing for myself and others! Hope you enjoy it!

Teaching students how to use Google as a research tool, navigate websites, and locate answers is often cumbersome. I started making digital field trips to make this experience fun for both my students and myself. I realized with all the testing out there, our students were missing some of those common sense skills. I also wanted them to apply their math skills, and get a grasp of money, as well as making decisions. I also have made digital field trips for the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywo

This is probably the digital field trip I am most excited about! I have taken multiple trips to Costa Rica so making this was a blast. Students will get a chance to look at flight plans, record the price, look up lodging costs, view local activities, volcanoes, and more. This is a 5 page activity with journaling as an option.(Especially if using in a Spanish classroom to record their experience in Spanish by journaling!) To include journaling either print multiple pages of the document provi

Tasks to be completed: My Germany packet is 3 pages and starts with labeling a map with the 3 major rivers along with the cities we will be visiting. (see sample) Students will list 10 inventors, dates of the invention, and name of the invention. Research Marienplatz and the Glokenspeil tower and write a descriptive answer about it. Draw a photo of the Neuschwanstein castle after an image search, and general fact search. Checkmark the true facts about Berlin Wall. Checkmark the countri

This can be used for any class, any grade, for learning or fun. It can be used individually or in a group! I used it in my computer technology class with typing and added other skills and activities they needed review in for their other classrooms. It was a wonderful collaboration with the other teachers, and I can change it at anytime. I used it with my Google Classroom and had them turn in creative writings, complete slideshows, do typing assignments, and more. We used digital dice being

Students love Moana and everything Disney. My goal is to have students create, learn, and process information in fun ways that don't even feel like learning. Sometimes our kids get overwhelmed with test prep and it is my goal to help their minds to connect these same concepts in fun ways! Please see the preview to see the whole file:) I wanted the students to work on creating their own creature, reasoning where they would exist and how we would need to "fish" for them, and graph our fishin

(My example is about 3rd grade, but great for 3-6!) This is a very simple concept with big results. As I began to teach my 3rd graders about researching things on Google, I realized how spoiled and crippled we have been in this Siri/Alexa world. My students wanted immediate responses. They didn't want to read results, and often didn't realize they should actually click on a website to then further their search. That's when I decided to join my Google Search Unit with my Google Doc Unit. My s

Full Quarter Worth of work that covers all Ohio Tech standards except 9-11. 1-8 are covered! This is a curriculum in the form of a game board. I took all of my normal work for a quarter (to quarter and half) and put it on a gameboard to encourage "student choice and ownership." Students will go to a website with digital dice (or you can put dice in a container if you are really risky!) Students will roll and checkmark the box they land on. Students will then add to the "What they worked o

A fun way to inspire their creative writing. Box at top contains words they have to use in their story :) PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK/RATE MY PRODUCTS AND FOLLOW ME :) I'm trying to get my store off the ground and offering my products for free that I worked very hard on for a short time to hopefully gain a following and some feedback and ratings:) Thank-you so much!
