Electronic Fieldtrips are an exciting addition to any curriculum. Delivered live from remote sites from around the world, electronic fieldtrips allow students to go places they may otherwise never get to visit.
Students can call in their questions and get answers from experts in a variety of professions.
And, of course, you can always record the programs for later use. Here are a few strategies to maximize the benefits of this type of programming. What is Available Use satellite program guides such as the SatLink, Satellite Scholar and T-STAR publications to find programming that corresponds to your curriculum. It is not likely that you will find a live, interactive program being broadcast at the exact time you are covering a specific topic. Use programs on topics you have covered before the broadcast date to review those concepts.
