Virtual Field Trip FAQs:

What do they need?

Students need access to Google My Maps and Youtube on their devices. Some teachers prefer if their students use headphones when watching the videos.

How long does it take?

This depends a bit on your students’ comfort level with technology, as well as their ability and the language you choose to complete the map. I usually use these in one 45-50 minute class period.

Can elementary students use these?

I’ve never taught elementary, so these aren’t designed for them. I would say that upper elementary could navigate them if they are comfortable with tech, but I’d recommend watching the videos first, just to make sure they’re appropriate for your younger classes.

  19. yvette C. –

    mY STUDENTS loved using this resources. It broke up the monotony of work and kept them engaged and learning some culture as well. They had a little trouble getting started ( mainly because they dint listen to directions. LOL) It was very little prep, and they were able to do it in a class period. It will be a staple in my repertoire from now on.

  41. Ann G. –

    The graphic organizer is worth the purchase, which was good, because my district did not allow the map and I didn’t know until the day of use. They used it as a webquest instead. Thank you.

  46. Lisa R. –

    My student thought some of the information was interesting to learn.

  47. Chloe M. –

    This is an extremely useful resource to have in your pocket for Spanish 1 sub plans! It is engaging enough to keep students busy, yet the instructions are simple enough that a non-spanish speaking substitute can lead and answer questions. Will be holding onto this!

  48. ANA SANCHEZ HERNANDEZ –

  58. Elsa M. –

    My students enjoyed this activity!

  59. Samantha V. –

    This was a great complement to the Cinco de Mayo mini-unit I teach. After we did some comprehensible activities in Spanish, this was a great extension and a great way to incorporate geography. I got students started and then had them continue it with a sub.

  60. Ann C. –

    This was my first time assigning a webquest activity, and it was a great success! Although you h we were holding in-person classes, I had a lot of students absent due to sports, etc and they were easily able to complete the activity as I posted it in google classroom. Thanks for those step by step instructions!! Quite a few of my students preferred to fill the worksheet out by hand while using their screen to access the webquest links, so I was grateful to have that as a built-in option for them. Very pleased with this product and i hope to order another webquest for a different cultural topic next year.

  61. Madame Potter –

    I started using this resource with my Spanish students the week of Cinco de Mayo…then I got COVID. I was able to use this in conjunction with the sub covering my classes to keep them interested and engaged (as much as you can with 7th graders in the spring) and I felt like I was leaving them meaningful lessons instead of having the sub throw a movie in.

  62. Daisy S. –

    My students look forward to use this activity every time. Easy to use, highly engaging, and fun. It really made my teaching effective and meaningful.

  63. Michael E. –

    My students loved this and it kept them engaged for certain!! They really enjoyed the map as well.

  64. almudena C. –

    great 5 de mayo activity

  65. Emma Harris –

    This resource was very engaging for my students, especially my sophomore class! They always ask when we are going to do another virtual field trip. I know this is a favorite activity for several students. The Cinco de mayo field trip in particular helped clear up my students’ and even my own misconceptions about this holiday. I plan to use this again next year!

    Is there a way for you to add PDF fill out forms for the worksheets? A few of my students have trouble with slides using their devices. For my own assignments I create the slides and doc version for all the assignments because they can’t figure out why they are not able to do it.
    Thanks and great resource! 🙂

    gracias

  132. Frenchified –

    A very useful unit – fun for students and a new way to learn about Cinco de Mayo.

  133. Kayty R. –

    I LOVE these activities–the only problem is YouTube is blocked on . my kids’ chromebooks so I have to show the videos for them, which defeats the independent part of it. Anybody found any way around this?

    • Ashley Mikkelsen –

      Oh, Kayty I’m so sorry to hear that! It sounds like a district decision. Is it possible to talk with your tech team about shifting that policy? Our district blocks all videos except for ones the teachers have approved and “opened” ahead of time for the students! That might be something to consider with your tech team!

Only logged in customers who have purchased this product may leave a review.

How long do you estimate this activity taking students?

The length of time for the activity depends on a few factors:

  • How old are your students?
  • How familiar are they with technology? Have they ever done an interactive Google My Map before?
  • Which language is the resource in? How will the language used affect their time to complete the resource?

 

I generally plan for one 45-50 minute class period with my high school novice students. This blog post goes into more detail with the factors I consider and how I set up a lesson using this activity!
