Parental Guidance
BEWARE - We will reference landmines in this program. As such, your learner may inquire further about this issue. If you prefer to avoid this topic with your child then you may want to skip this program. Why address it? Some of the elephants that your learner will see were injured by landmines and there is no way around the topic. This is a reality in this part of the world. Additionally, we will talk about the mistreatment of elephants in this program. Why? Again, this is a reality with elephant tourism and we can not avoid the conversation.
As an organization, we approach these conversations respectfully and truthfully. We can not help these magnificent animals if we are intentionally or unintentionally hurting them.

- Virtual Field Trips -
With the video conferencing and social media tools available in today’s classrooms and homes, former barriers such as money, distance, and time have been essentially eliminated from getting students out of the classroom and into the world. Classes are visiting locations such as space stations, underwater marine labs, and foreign countries in the span of just one school day…AND…it’s all live interaction!
With the launch of GEOshow in the Spring of 2015, Learn Around The World (i.e., learnATW) jumped to the forefront of the virtual field trip revolution. Today, learnATW is pushing Virtual Field Trips to the limit with it’s unique, authentic programming!
