Abstract

The article focuses on the use of video conferencing technology to facilitate virtual school trips, emphasizing its importance for interactive learning in primary education. Mina Patel, Chair of the National Video Conferencing Education Group (NVCEG), highlights the need for high-quality audio and video equipment to enable effective live interaction during virtual trips. Cranbrook Primary School utilizes virtual workshops from the Natural History Museum (NHM), which adapted popular programs like "Emergency! Earthquakes and Volcanoes" for online delivery to reach schools nationwide, including those unable to visit in person. Logitech’s MeetUp 2 video bar is noted for enhancing the virtual experience with AI-enabled audio and video features suited for classroom settings. Virtual trips are presented as cost-effective, accessible alternatives that stimulate curiosity, support curriculum goals, and foster digital skills among young learners.
