Virtual Field Trip

Step 1: Select your location

Take a virtual “field trip” to one of the following:
  • National Cryptologic Museum

    • https://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic-heritage/museum/

  • International Spy Museum

    • http://www.spymuseum.org/

  • National Law Enforcement Museum

    • https://lawenforcementmuseum.org/

  • DEA Museum

    • https://deamuseum.org

  • Fairfax County Police Museum - Public Safety Headquarters Building

    • https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/news2/police-reports-fingerprinting-and-more-available-soon-in-new-public-safety-headquarters/

  • FBI Academy and facilities at Quantico

    • http://www.weta.org/tv/local/wetaallaccess/fbi (use other sites for more info)

  • Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory

    • http://www.rcfl.gov/ (use other sites for more info)

  • CIA Museum

    • https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/cia-museum/


Step 2: Create your presentation

  • Create a PowerPoint presentation

    • Include information and pictures about what you saw and what you learned at the virtual museum/location.

    • Slides should be in your own words.

    • There is no minimum or maximum number of slides, just make sure you cover the information sufficiently

    • Note: You are given an entire class block of time to work on this; therefore, I would expect your presentation to represent enough detail to show approximately 3 hours of research and development of your presentation.



Step 3: Write your speech

  • In your PowerPoint, include your speech in the NOTES SECTION (use complete sentences). This would be your presentation/speech if you were to present this to an audience.

  • Every slide should have talking points, even if it is an introduction or transition slide.

  • Talking points/speech should be in your OWN words.

  • Make sure you cite all sources you used for information or pictures either on the slide or in your notes.


Step 4: Submit your presentation

  • Compress your pictures before submitting (in PowerPoint, double click on a picture, go to “compress picture” tool, apply to all pictures)

  • Make sure your speech is visible in the notes section.

  • Make sure citations are visible in the notes section.

  • Submit on Blackboard
