SCOTT, Jeff. Viagens pelo campo virtual: aprendendo além dos muros da sala de aula. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.35, pp.15-28. ISSN 1981-0431.

This paper provides an overview of a holistic approach to engaging students in the reading and writing processes while engaged with a science topic. Recent advances in technology and internet access have opened up a multitude of resources never before available to teachers and students. Many of these, including Virtual Field Trips can be used to stimulate interest and motivate students to select their own topics of interest and self direct their own research, reading, and learning (Scott, 2007). This paper presents the exploration and use of Virtual Field Trips as a means of engaging students in researching, writing, and sharing with others their developing knowledge on the lifecycle of an eagle. The nesting site of the eagles in Decorah, Iowa provides the location for the Virtual Field Trip being reported on.

Keywords : Virtual Field Trip; Reading; Writing.
