2nd Annual VFT March Madness Month

It’s back! March is Virtual Field Trip (VFT) month. VFTs are interactive, educational programs transmitted through videoconferencing technology (i.e. Polycoms or DL labs). Classrooms are connected to experts in a particular field or students from a ‘remote location’. While VFTs run throughout the school year, March is a great time fit one into your curriculum. Why?

An engaging and content-driven VFT can:

• Rejuvenate students who are preparing for Regent’s exams.


• Serve as a mental marker for students through multi-sensory instruction.


• Aid students who need “something different” to master a specific content area or lesson.


• Excite students who love technology and virtual learning.


• Build your own technology literacy and professional portfolio.

To schedule a VFT, please contact Phil Pockey via email: ppockey@caboces.org. Phil needs at least 6 weeks notice to coordinate any VFT.
