Principles of the Virtual Fieldtrip:
All participating classes will suggest 'stops' on the Virtual Fieldtrip that might be of interest to their class and that of the Novaks. To do this, classes should:: Read the biographies (see Biographies) of Mrs. Novak and Dr. Leslie Novak noting their special interests. Read the Novak’s Trip Preparation Journal (see Preparation Journal ) Be aware of the daily itinerary of the Virtual Fieldtrip. Do research to determine what 'stops' could be made on the Virtual Fieldtrip. Each class will receive emails about the Virtual Fieldtrip. Each class will receive digitized pictures of their class/team picture at the 'stops' that they recommend. Pictures may only be available after the trip since download time may be difficult. |
