The site has several major sections. It is a resource for students and educators wishing to use technology in their classrooms. It also provides resources for educators on web design, links to her research publications, and a gallery of her photography. The section that I found most useful was her guide for web searching and researching. Here, Alice provides a a comprehensive list of searching tools for teachers and students, and online databases, including encyclopedias and almanacs, web cam directories, virtual field trips, and simulations.
Her ideas on virtual field trips were very exciting! She explains that virtual fiels trips are engaging to students because they enable students to make connections between themselves and the extensive world environment they live in with the click of a mouse. AND IT'S FREE! On efieldtrips.org, there are many locations throughout the world such as the Alaskan coast, the everglades, and the wetlands of Watsinville that kids can experience, and also historical trips through time in which students can get a feel for events such as the attack on Pearl Harbor and the struggle for equality during the civil rights movement on America. These tools will certainly be helpful for any teacher in almost any grade!
