I'm a National Geographic Certified Educator and Outschool Teacher who is on an 7 year- 50 state road trip and I want you to come along (virtually) to a new mystery location with me each week (please note - these are not taught live on location). Each week is either a historical, geographical or cultural location. 

This class is ideally for learners who are interested in in-depth historical, scientific or cultural facts about locations. This is not a social class designed to look at photos. It is an educational experience, hosted by The Traveling Teach, much like a guided tour. As a result, I try to engage with learners with questions and discussions, but it is primarily lecture-style. Due to the nature of this ongoing class, it is currently taught 7x per week, it is not live on location but is a collection of curated facts, photos and videos from my visit to that location. What sets this class apart is that I haven't searched the internet for photos or maps, but actually aim to share what it's like to visit each location by taking hundreds of photos and videos and putting them into a 45 minute educational experience.

Because I move often and visit locations during my travels I can't outline where we will be weeks in advance but here are some locations we've been to that are similar to what you can expect.

Previous field trips include: 
National Civil Rights Museum (TN)
San Antonio Missions and The Alamo (TX)
USS Cod Submarine (OH)
The Cosmosphere (KS)
Grand Caverns (VA)
Alligators 101 and Swamp Boat Tour (LA)
International Spy Museum (DC)
Fire Museum of Cincinnati (OH)

Students will learn through live classes, videos pre-recorded and photos taken on location by the teacher.

What families say they like best about virtual field trips with Ms. Shae, The Traveling Teach:

"Ms. Shae engages the kids really well, and makes the content interesting. My daughter would often, unprompted, talk about the things that she learned in Ms. Shae's virtual field trip class and even teach her parents a few things."

"Ms. Shae! Every field trip is interesting and very informative."

"[My child] loves the surprise element of the clues and finding out where you're going. Also the variety of places, the mix of fun and more serious topics. She always learns something interesting, and I feel like it really broadens her knowledge base in such a great way. And [Ms. Shae's] personality is a big part of her love for [her] class!"
