A company call Turner Learner have put together a series of electronic field trips. They cost $149 each. A few of the recent titles include: Wetlands and Natural Resources, Working with words and images, V-E Day a Fiftieth Anniversary and Retrospective,Virus Encounters- Microorganisms and the Human Body.
I have plans to join one called "Calculations on a curve Ball" ..
Each adventure includes:
1. A teacher 's resource Book (tests and lesson plans)
2. Materials linked to the curriculum
3. Technical Information for Media Specialists
4. One or more on line video feeds per day (you need a satellite dish)
5. Teacher training tapes
6. Related CNN newsroom/cnn newsroom
7. Live chats with experts on-site and a toll free telephone #
8. On line projects
9. Teacher Online training
10. Data disks with resources
11. Passworded Web Site exclusively for registered participants
If professionals are doing these things how does what we do stack up ? I'll try to give you some feed back.
