#cdnedchat Virtual field trip involves no insurance, liability, responsibility. No brained?

misspollock - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@BSchlacht That's amazing, Bill! What are they doing there? #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Q5: Safety and liability seem to be a growing concern. How does your district address these concerns? #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Apr 11 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A4) just ordered Google Cardboard Waitn! but Ss visited @ROMtoronto @HockeyHallFame 2 write detailed mystery stories #cdnedchat @karmicangel

BSchlacht - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@PrinSClark Has instructional time become a factor as well? #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@ZeliaMCT I have Google cardboard but haven't tried it yet with my Gr. 1s. Would love some ideas. #cdnedchat

sjctex Apr 11 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5) We use tried and true destinations and admins go on all field trips. #cdnedchat

mrdavidhoang Apr 11 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A4 Our Ss went on a virtual field trip today to Cape Town, South Africa. Amazing experience learning about endangered penguins. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@TheCandyDish @ZeliaMCT Ooh, what about #geocaching?! #cdnedchat

PrinSClark Apr 11 @ 8:40 PM EDT

#cdnedchat Board approved trip vendors; follow OPHEA guidelines. If out-of-province, Supt approval, mandatory student insurance.

TheCandyDish - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A5: New policy in my district but doesn't really impact Gr. 1 much. More so Jr. & Sr. High. #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@JwhiteJudith @misspollock I was in their class today and they are writing letters to local businesses who have supported them. #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@misspollock These are high needs students. It will just be a lifetime opportunity for them. #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@sjctex Sounds like a lot of fun. I just have to try it. #cdnedchat

mrdavidhoang Apr 11 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4 I HIGHLY recommend embarking on a v field trip w @EBTSOYP using Google Hangouts. #cdnedchat https://t.co/353gb82u0e

PrinSClark Apr 11 @ 8:42 PM EDT

#cdnedchat Field trips considered curriculum therefore must be inclusive, well-planned, learning experiences. No amusement parks.

ZeliaMCT Apr 11 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@TheCandyDish connect with @sylviaduckworth and @watnunu who just hosted session at #gafesummit this past weekend. Rave reviews! #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Apr 11 @ 8:43 PM EDT

misspollock - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@BSchlacht Wow! I can't wait to hear more - will someone be sharing photos and stories online? #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@PrinSClark How about international trips? #cdnedchat

jprofNB Apr 11 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A5: Educate students & parents, make sure to have forms filled out and submitted. #cdnedchat

JwhiteJudith Apr 11 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@mrdavidhoang @EBTSOYP looks intriguing ,thanks for sharing that #cdnedchat

PrinSClark Apr 11 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@sjctex Fantastic. Leads me to wonder how "big city" venues are much more accessible as field trips than smaller or rural.#cdnedchat

jprofNB Apr 11 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5: If the student or parent does not bring in the signed form, he or she cannot participate. #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Apr 11 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@JJrhenderson I would 100% agree. If you can experience the real deal - then do it. #cdnedchat
