Travel (Real or Virtual) The Best Sites Where Students Can Plan Virtual Trips A nice geography lesson is to have students plan a trip to some location (or locations). There are several web tools that make doing this pretty easy - it's just a matter of identifying where you want to go, looking through the sites to see in those places, and then "dragging-and-dropping" them onto a list that you can subsequently post on a student or teacher website/blog. Most of these sites also allow you to write a description of your trip (and why you chose the places you did), but students can do the same on their own site, too. Even better, most of these sites also let users comment on places they have visited, which make them an excellent place for students to write for an authentic audience about locations they have really visited (which can include local spots). Here are sites most accessible to English Language Learners that let them plan these kinds of virtual trips: Tripwolf; Nile Guide; Go Planit; Ruba; Planet Eye; Tripcart; Tripwiser; Discover America; Travel DK; and Yahoo Travel.
