Field Trip Ideas

Are your students lucky enough to have the opportunity to go on field trips?

I saw an amazing idea that I had never heard about before-did you know you can take your class, grades preK-12, on a field trip to an Apple Retail Store? Your class has a choice of creating a project, with help from trainers and specialists, using all the amazing hardware and software in the store, or showcasing a project. This option allows the students to bring a project they have made at school or home, and use the entire store as a place to present their work. This link goes directly to the Apple Retail Store field trip page. If anyone has been on one of these field trips, I would love to have your comments!

Field trips may be out of the question for some due to the rising cost of transporting classes, paying for admission costs, etc., but Lunchables is having a contest to help send 50 classes on field trips. Check out this short video about a class of 5th graders on an "alien" field trip!
