Internet Resources for You!

Hey everyone, this site about Internet Uses in the Classroom has some great technology resources for any type of teacher (or person for that matter). I decided to explore virtual field trips because the concept interests me. This website has various trips with teacher resources, different aspects of topics you can cover, and then the tour. If you wanted to have a submission you would need to pay for one...but you can take a few trial runs. I feel that this is a good technological tool to use in classrooms because of the opportunities for learning it provides. I'm from Washington and I remember that growing up we went on lots of field trips and learned through hands-on activities. However, today funds and policies don't permit students to have these activities. Through the media and technology available to us, we can reconstruct to a certain extent a learning opportunity that students may not have experienced. Granted, it's not the same as going out into the world, but there is something to be said for the various multimedias incorporated into one site. I hope you will take a look and enjoy it!
