Source for VFTs

  • CILC Content Dollar Bank - Approved Mini-grants only.
  • Tandberg Connections Program - Limit 2 per semester. The secret to success for this program is to plan early and wisely. Check out the listings and register at the earliest possible date. Don't use a Tandberg Connections credit on a program that is free anyway, such as NASA.

 

Things to keep in mind
When choosing a content provider for your virtual field trip you should keep in mind the following:

  • The length of the videoconference, and day/time restrictions
  • The cost. Remember, ISDN is never "free".
  • The type of connection, IP or ISDN (Schools will be required to pay any ISDN charges)
  • The provider's policy should the event fail to "connect"
  • The provider's cancellation policy
  • The amount of interactivity available to students during the IVC
  • The hands-on materials available to students for use before, during, or after IVC
