One of the most surprising success stories of the connected classroom has been Virtual Excursions. In a nutshell, virtual excursions are done through video connection where students can use their connected class room to visit other places around the globe. When the CCP was first introduced virtual excursion was a extremely 'hit or miss' affair - with some being terrific and others being overpriced and poorly run. This is improving rapidly.
Virtual excursions were also predominately hosted in regional and remote area schools, but this too has now changed. Virtual excursions are a great way to introduce extra activities to your lessons.
Take for instance 'Literature Live - from idea to story' would be terrific to add this to an overall creative writing program. At only $100.00 per school that's less than four dollars per child in a class of 30.
