This Virtual College Scavenger Hunt lesson plan also includes:
  • Activity
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

It's always great to take learners to a real college campus for a visit. However, that's not always possible given time and money constraints. Take them on a virtual tour instead. Pupils discuss the four types of colleges they will encounter, then visit websites that offer virtual college tours. They use a worksheet to collect data as they investigate each site.
