Virtual field trips are a valuable and powerful tool that many classrooms are using across Bloomfield Hills Schools, in a wide variety of grade levels. Bloomfield Virtual Principal Jen Teal notes, “Especially since the pandemic began, many organizations have adapted to offering their programs online. It is remarkable how these experiences help students feel connected, not only to their school community but also to our local and global communities. We love that Zoom allows our BV students to travel the world right from their seats!”
