  Tip :: eFIELDTRIPS.org
 

eFieldTrips consist of four major components:

  • Trip Journal: First, the teacher downloads and gives students copy of a printed Trip Journal. It is a simple one page fill-in the blank type worksheet that helps to keep the students focused and provides a way for the teacher to grade student participation if he desires. The students fill-out the Trip Journal while they are completing the next component.
  • Virtual Visit: An interactive Flash movie that teaches the students about the eFieldTrip topic. It can be completed at anytime and at the student's own pace. It typically takes about 15 minutes for a student to go through the Virtual Visit.
  • Ask the Experts: After completing the Virtual Visit, students have an opportunity to interact with the experts. Students can ask questions via an "Ask the Experts" web form, and recieve an answer in 1-2 days.
  • Live Chat: Another way students can interact with experts is by participating in a live web chat at a scheduled time.
