The classes involved in this project have a mini-lab with up to 5 networked computers with Internet access. Students are given class time 3-5 days per week based on need. Students research, collaborate, and communicate locally and via the Internet and email to collect information and explore possible travel plans. Students construct grammatically correct correspondences, itineraries and HyperStudio presentations about the trip they design.
Students create spreadsheets to record the cost of the trip.
Every summer a group of people in the community takes an educational trip. At the same time, they are traveling on a limited budget. The group has sent a letter to the class asking them to plan some possible trips for them to take. The group will then choose and take one of the trips created by the students. The students first develop a method to determine the interests of the travelers, places they have already been and the period of time they would like to be gone.
