Microsoft's ConnectEd platform connects educators and technology to allow for incredible lessons from the comfort of students' own homes. We produced this Virtual Field Trip to the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, with by respected science and natural history presenter Liz Bonnin.

Join Liz and students the world over as we explore the roles technology plays in the preservation, conservation and maintenance of the Tongass National Forest.
A selection of stills from the 24 minute lesson.
Rather than recklessly shoot on location during a global pandemic we instead shot Liz on a green screen in Reading and comped her into custom-made backgrounds, before adding on screen graphics, lighting effects and a soundtrack.
