Things were a little different on Monday for some first graders from Hernando Elementary School in Citrus County.
The students traveled the world without leaving the comfort of their classroom.
Seven-year-old Bella Arnold says it’s a blast.
“I just think it is very cool that you don’t even have to drive or fly, you just Skype," Arnold said.
That's what the students did - they Skyped with other children from all over the world.
"I love how they talk other languages, and like, we don’t have snow and they’ll have snow a lot,” Arnold said.
The tour lasted all day and the students kept track of what they learned. They got to chat with each other and answer questions.
Seven-year-old Kayla Negron says it’s a great way to see the world.
"It is really cool because they’re from another country and we learn from there and they learn from here,” Negron said.
Teacher Ashlynn Ramirez said this is right in line with everything her students have been doing.
"We do a lot of technology in the classroom," she said. "My kids are making Power Points, they’re doing research, they’re using Google, and they are only in first grade so I feel this is just the start with technology for them.”
Their trip included stops in New Zealand, Brazil, Canada and Costa Rica. They also spoke with students in Kansas, California, Michigan, Texas and Chinatown in New York City.
A stop was planned for Mozambique but they had to cancel.
