Crystal Salazar replied to Laurie Pitcher's discussion Lewis and Clark"Hi Laurie,
I'm going to school to be a teacher, but in one of my education courses (technology course) my group spent the entire semester covering Lewis and Clark, and did all of our assignments on it. We used Prezi to create an interactive…"

We are in the planning stage of creating projects for grades 3-5 on Lewis and Clark. Do you have a great project idea that you would like to share? Have you already covered Lewis and Clark in your classroom? Can your students teach our students? Could you be a guest speaker?
Alan Stange replied to Laurie Pitcher's discussion Virtual Field Trips"Yes I think public museums, parks and heritage sites should introduce some planned services to add value to the money expended on them. A virtual tour with guide could handle a large number of classes."

It is a wonderfully historical story. You wouldn't belive what was on this steamboat. I took a class from Canada and a class from my school district on an interactive virtual tour last year. Both classes participated in projects,…See More
