About the Author
Foley has been at the forefront of technological breakthroughs working with High-definition Television back in the 80's, and digital video, when both were in early research stages. Since the early-90's, Foley has taught computer and digital video courses, produced and co-designed interactive, multimedia packages for major publishers, and managed team software development. Over the past several years, Foley has developed web-based, virtual field trips for the education market, and designed and maintained several educational sites.
Foley also created Field Trips Site, a site dedicated to providing free, high-quality, virtual field trips for the K-12 classroom. In the first two months of being launched, this site received a prestigious USA TODAY Education award, and many of the field trips have received and continue to receive praise from the National Science Teacher's Association, in addition to other awards and recognition. She offers both on-site and online training in the use and creation of Virtual Field Trips.

With the World Wide Web, it's now possible for many of us to learn about virtually anything, visit distant lands, even outer space, and speak to strangers all over the world almost instantaneously. Granted, it's still a "virtual" experience, but nevertheless, a terribly exciting one! There's one minor problem, however: almost everyone who uses the web has by now encountered INFORMATION OVERLOAD. There is so much information that it takes oodles of time to sift through it and discern what is useful and what is irrelevant.
Although the organization of that information is getting better in some cases, the web is, in many ways, still a chaotic, jumbled mess.
A teacher could spend all of her/his time searching the web to put together a unit of study. Have you ever found yourself sitting down to look up one quick thing and before you know it, found that half the day has passed?
Enter the Virtual Field Trip, or web tour. Virtual field trips present a great way to organize information into a cohesive, comprehensible unit.
