Non-profit in the Valley connects students to virtual field trips

Welcome to the digital realm of learning, where Sevilla Elementary students embarked on a “virtual field trip” through Act One, a local non-profit dedicated to providing rich cultural experiences to children in Arizona.

Transporting students to the heart of Native American culture, Act One’s innovative approach captivates young minds with immersive experiences that bring Arizona’s history to life.

Dr. Beth Maloney, a leader at Act One, expressed the significance of using technology to bridge the gap between classrooms and historical landmarks. Through virtual reality, students are treated to 360-degree views of multi-generational hoop dancing and indigenous traditions.

During the virtual trip, Tony Duncan of the San Carlos Apache Nation showcased his ancestral traditions, enriching the educational experience for Title One students who may not have the opportunity to go on traditional field trips.

Ms. Candace Green, a seasoned educator, recognized the value of integrating technology into the learning process and praised Act One for equipping students with valuable resources and impactful experiences.

As Act One continues to shape the educational landscape, students play a pivotal role in shaping their virtual adventures by providing feedback that ensures cultural representation in their virtual field trips.

With past participation from 18,000 students, Act One remains committed to fostering a deeper understanding of Arizona’s diverse history. To learn more about this transformative program, visit https://act1az.org/.
