On top of saving field trips in lieu of budget cuts, this platform uses the social-media engine Google Plus as a medium to connect students to real people doing real life-changing work. This is more than a field trip.

This article was an exciting find because I had recently read about virtual field trips and now I got to see what they are like! This is honestly the coolest thing, and the imagery is so clear I almost feel like I'm there. I can see this being an incredible tool in the classroom to expose students what exists beyond their school walls without having to go through the hastle of planning a trip and causing students to miss other classes. The experts in the video also seemed to enjoy doing the virtual trips, so it seems like a win, win. I think that any content area teacher could use this to enhance their lessons, and I think that students would really enjoy it as well. So neat!

As you can see, this method of using Google + provides students with a chance that is as close as possible to a real school excursion. This entire Connected Classrooms experience can be viewed live or played back to classes around the globe.
Whilst watching these recordings and live broadcasts, students could be instructed to collect data/information and later represent this data through electronic means - fulfilling one of the Year 3 and 4 Technology Content Descriptors.

Through technology, learning can be interesting and fun. As the video shows, the children felt as though they were playing a game instead of traditionally learning in class.
Furthermore, technology has aided the ability to provide instant/real time communication possible, where people in different countries can chat face-to-face through Skype.

I love Pinterest and use it currently to get ideas for my classroom, and to get templates for teaching. If I can use Pinterest to help my students, that would be ideal. This is supporting my idea that there are many tools out there for teaching that we wouldn't think of first.
