Virtual Field Trip FAQs

Scheduling
  • Sessions should be scheduled at least 3 weeks in advance. Please submit the request form, and OKCMOA will contact you to schedule your visit.
  • Because sessions are interactive, class-sized groups work better than large groups of combined classes. We can meet with each of your class sections during their respective class times. Please note the meeting times of each section on the request form.
How to Connect
  • OKCMOA Virtual Field Trip sessions can be accessed by both in-person and remote-learning classrooms.
  • Remote-Learning Classrooms:
    • OKCMOA will come as a visitor to established remote-learning classrooms, using the digital platform, meeting ID, and protocols already in place for remote learners in the class.
    • Teachers will be asked to share their preferred digital meeting platform and connection details when booking a session.
  • In-Person Classrooms:
    • For schools that are currently meeting in-person, classrooms will be invited into OKCMOA’s Zoom meeting room for each session.
    • Teachers will receive an OKCMOA Zoom Meeting ID and instructions when they book a session.
Equipment

For classrooms meeting with students in-person, the following is needed:

  • An internet-connected computer or web-enabled device connected to a projector, monitor, or Smartboard
  • An external or built-in webcam positioned to see your group
  • An external USB noise-cancelling microphone is ideal, but built-in microphones are ok as long as a group “spokesperson” can repeat responses if needed
  • Speakers loud enough for entire classroom to hear. Be sure speakers are pointing away from mic to prevent feedback.

Virtual Field Trip Reviews

Putnam City West High School
“We were fortunate to be able to see Pompeii, such an amazing exhibit, during its last week on display. It helped so much for my students, who are studying Latin (many have also taken an art course at PCW), to see actual Roman art in person and to learn about the history, culture, mythology, etc.—connecting what they learn in class to a real-world experience.”
Springer Middle School
“My students really enjoyed their museum experience! Both of our docents were very knowledgeable about the Dale Chihuly exhibit and the Pompeii exhibit. We learned a lot! I can't think of anything I would have changed about our visit. Thank you!”
Thomas High School
“My students enjoyed the tour very much! For most it was their first museum experience. Since we had just recently studied Roman art in class, I think they would have enjoyed more time hearing background information on the Pompeii exhibit, but also enjoyed viewing the Chihuly exhibit. Thank you so much for having us.”
