Take a Trip Without Leaving The Classroom
Some of you were curious how to find and register for virtual field trips via Skype.
You'll need to call 780-7880 to have Skype downloaded onto your laptop (super easy takes about 3 minutes they just take over your computer remotely and take care of it). Once you have Skype, you'll need to create an account if you don't already have one.
All of the current virtual field trips are listed here (https://education.microsoft.com/FindaLesson/VirtualFieldTrip). If you find one you like on the page you will click "Click here to register". You'll have to create an account or I just clicked "Login with Skype Account". Once you're logged in and you "Click Here to Register" a little calendar will pop up and any any times they are available to Skype will be green on the calendar. Keep in mind it takes about 3 business days for the field trip host to confirm so the further ahead of time you book it, the better. You'll get an email confirming your field trip request and then when the host confirms the day and time you'll get a second email confirming that trip. At that point the host is given your Skype name and email address and will reach out to you either via email or Skype message.
