Get those sack lunches together, it's field trip time. School children and home-schooled children with access to the Internet can take part in Goliad's 250th birthday celebration, explore dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park, embark on an urban safari, take a trip down two major Texas rivers, and experience a dive in the Gulf of Mexico. We've been delighted at the enthusiastic participation from schools all over Texas. We had 9,000 students who registered for our Web casts last year.
Kids meet other kids and get to chat with experts.
This gives Texas Parks and Wildlife a chance to visit classrooms in a way we've never been able to before. Computer equipment capable of receiving digitally streamed media, such as RealVideo, is required to participate in the Web cast. Following is a calendar of upcoming virtual field trips. Most significant historical events in Texas have a connection with Goliad. The Institute of Texan Cultures is a partner in this electronic field trip.
