pg. 235 #5

I learned about an educational technology called virtual field trips. Unlike sitting in a classroom, students can use the internet to explore endless opportunities.

"Unlike movies and books, the Internet is interactive. Your students can ask scientists, astronauts, and mathematicians questions, watch frog dissections, participate in real-time discussions with students and professionals around the world." Cooper, Gail; Cooper, Garry "Virtual Field Trips," Libraries Unlimited, Inc., 1997: 168p
