TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: 6th Grade Teacher Buys Bus To Take Kids On Virtual Field Trips During Remote Learning

Remote learning has been tough on everyone. Students, parents, and even teachers. Some are coming up with creative ways to adapt.

Like this sixth-grade Science teacher in Massachusetts named John King. He couldn’t get fast enough internet at his home to do Zoom classes with his students. As a solution he decided to buy his own bus and now he’s been teaching from it while he goes on “virtual field trips” to different places around the state. He’s showed his students everything from dinosaur foot prints out in western Mass to the beach on cape cod where he taught them a lesson on the ocean!

Some of the kids are having a hard time with the remote learning so John has even made a few house calls during his travels on the bus to help some students out.

What a great story. I might have to find a way to take John’s class!
