A virtual field trip is a teaching tool that uses the internet and different websites to create an experience for the student
that is similar to a
traditional field trip. This paper examines how there is a substantial amount of current and relative information arguing both sides of this particular subject. Although both traditional and virtual field trips, offer different experiences for the
students, the paper argues that no only are virtual field trips better, they are more cost effective, safer, flexible, and are more rewarding for students of today.
