Mapping a Meaningful Virtual Focus Trip with Mote Marine Laboratory

Every great journey begins with a map. When you bring your learners on a Virtual Focus Trip™ with Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, we want you to have the tools to make it both engaging and meaningful.

We’ve designed a simple planning guide to help you set goals, gather resources, prepare your learners, and reflect on the impact of your experience. Think of it as your compass for creating lasting learning moments.

The Four Steps of Your Learning Journey

  1. SCAN – What is the destination? Define your goals and expectations for the trip.
  2. ZOOM – How are we going to get there? Explore planning tools and learning resources to prepare your learners.
  3. FOCUS – What will we do during the trip? Connect your unit prep to clear learning objectives.
  4. REFLECT – What did we learn? Evaluate the experience and capture takeaways for future learning.
