Live, Interactive, Virtual Field Trips
Learn more about the structure of our field trips, intended audiences, and E2's educational approach.
At its core, an E2 program is a live broadcast during which you and your students will visit multiple sites and meet multiple industry experts all in a single class period, without the cost and hassle of bus transportation or permission slips. During the event, you and your students can ask the experts questions via our interactive Slido platform.
But an E2 program starts before the one-hour broadcast and can continue afterwards, as well. Each of our educational programs is built around a curriculum-aligned theme, and we provide educational materials for you to use both before and after the event, including discussion questions, mind maps, experiential learning activities, reflection questions, links to external resources and more. In addition, if your students asked any questions that were not answered during the live broadcast, we'll follow up with the experts on your behalf and get answers!
E2 programs are designed to fit easily into any curriculum, and we're happy to answer any and all questions you might have on how to do so, either by email or live chat.
E2 Adventures are designed for students in Grades 6 through 12. We're currently working on developing virtual field trips for a younger audience! If you'd be interested in providing feedback on how we can adapt our field trips to students in Grades 2 through 5, please send an email to info@e2adventures.com.
Our educational approach is what makes our virtual field trips so special. E2 field trips are:
• Live: Whether we're visiting a site in Canada, Iceland, Australia or Japan, you'll meet the experts live, in real time.
• Interactive: Using the innovative Slido platform, your students can ask questions at any time. They'll also participate in polls, answer trivia questions and maybe even vote on the next thing they want to see! E2 virtual field trips engage students in active learning.
• Curriculum-aligned: How could an E2 Adventure fit in with your particular curriculum requirements? That's easy! All of our events are multidisciplinary, and we provide educational resources that will help you seamlessly integrate the field trip into your classroom learning.
During each and every live broadcast, students can ask the experts questions in real time via the Slido platform. Several questions will be answered during the event. Questions that are not answered during the broadcast will be sent to the experts so that they can answer them in writing in a document we will email to you the following week—providing another opportunity for you and your students to circle back to what they learned!
Our events team will also engage your students during the trip by posting live polls and getting students' input on what they'd like to see next.
For a list of the live, interactive, virtual field trips currently in production this school year, visit the Programs & Events page. If there's something you'd like to see that's not currently offered, let us know by emailing us at info@e2adventures.com!
Our virtual field trips are one hour long. You and your students can join the Slido event up to half an hour before the broadcast starts to answer introduction polls and test your knowledge of the subject!
Once your registration is confirmed, we will send you field trip-specific educational resources that you can use before or after the event. We'll communicate with you two weeks prior to the event with more information, as well as one day before the event as a reminder.
It's easy to stream the live broadcast or show an asynchronous version of an E2 Adventure. All you need is your classroom computer and projector!
You can choose to stream the event on YouTube or Vimeo. You will be provided with both links prior to the broadcast, and you can open the links up to 30 minutes before the start of the broadcast.
Share the provided Slido link and/or QR code with your students up to 30 minutes before the start of the broadcast. They can start to interact with the events team via live polls and multiple-choice questions.
No downloads! Just make sure that your school's firewalls don't prevent you or your students from accessing YouTube/Vimeo or Slido.
Registration
It's easy—and free—to sign up. Get answers to all your questions about getting ready to participate in an E2 Adventure.
Each field trip page has a sign-up button. Simply click it and you will be redirected to the sign-up form. Fill it out completely using your professional email address and hit 'send'. Watch for your confirmation email. We take care of the rest!
Nothing! All E2 Adventures are free. So try one out! We're confidant that you'll sign up for more.
When you register, you will be asked to choose an event option.
Live + Interactive means that you and your students will watch the broadcast live at the fixed time via YouTube Live or Vimeo. You'll also participate via Slido, a platform that allows you to ask the onsite experts questions about anything you see or hear during the event and engage with multiple choice questions, polls, and word clouds provided by our team. This means your students can ask questions and have them answered in real time. They can also respond to polls and vote on certain questions that come up during the broadcast. Should you not want to partake in the interactive portion of the event, you can simply watch from the live link and not share the Slido link with your students.
Asynchronous is the option to choose if your schedule prohibits you from streaming the event during the live broadcast.
Regardless of which option you choose, you will receive emails with links to the live broadcast, a link to the recorded field trip following the broadcast, and all of our related educational materials. So, if you need to change your registration, there's no problem!
Support
With E2 Adventures, you get a whole team of experts both behind the scenes and in front of the camera ready to deliver an exceptional learning experience to you and your students. Learn more about all the ways E2 supports you before, during and after your field trip.
Of course! We want every teacher to feel comfortable using E2 Adventures in their classroom. One of our team members can meet with you via Zoom to walk you through the field trip and answer any lingering questions you might have. Just send an email to info@e2adventures.com to schedule a Zoom meeting.
Our E2 educational consultants have you covered! We provide teachers with a list of educational resources that they can use before and/or after each field trip to expand upon what the students learn and tie it directly to their curriculum.
Before and during the live broadcast, we closely monitor the info@e2adventures.com email address. So if ever you're missing a link or having trouble joining the Slido event, just send us an email and we'll make sure you can join the event in a timely manner.
After the field trip, we'll provide you with additional educational resources that you and your students can use to expand upon what you learned during the event. We'll also send you a document with the experts' answers to students' questions that we didn't have time to answer live. Finally, we'll ask you to fill out a short survey to tell us about your experience.
Then we encourage you to sign up for your next E2 Adventure!
