Trips San Diego Zoo One field trip that was interesting to explore was a trip to the San Diego Zoo in July, 2000. Several students summarized in detail their reports on specific research topics and posted them on the web. The person who created this field trip kept close contact to those who participated in the field trip. A dialogue was kept between team members, and information was shared amongst everyone. For those not able to physically attend the field trip, students were asked to post questions to those students who would physically be at the zoo.
Students anticipate responses back, and look forward to learning new things.
This site was attractive, yet not overwhelming. It had information about the school, location and a link to their homepage. Their homepage consisted of a picture of the school, school news, calender, after school program, teachers, resource centers, computer center and library. Back at the main page, they had each class listed that was hyperlinked to a picture of the class, their first names and last initial. Each child's name was hyperlinked to a brief, general profile of themselves.
