Step 5: Manage emails and galleries

Email tool

The Owner teacher can manage emails sent to partner teachers using the email tool. This is very useful as you can pre-set standard emails and send them to participants at set times.

VFT Gallery

The VFT gallery also adds a visual and audio richness and presence to your VFT. Students need to see and hear a place to really enjoy a Virtual Field Trip. So ensure you gather a range of digital media to assist their learning.

Tips

  • Only use .jpg images and make sure you optimize your images for web.
  • Wide images will automatically be created into panoramic images by the VFT gallery tool.
  • Try to keep video and audio to under 1 Mg. Participants may have trouble downloading large files if their bandwidth is limited.
  • Contact people who live in the place of your Virtual Field Trip and ask them to share their experiences and resources (check copyright).
