How Does The Virtual Fieldtrip Work?


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.
Requirements:
All participating classes must plan to have daily access to the Internet. 
All participating classes must have access to email.
All participating classes should plan to put aside at least one hour a day for involvement in the Virtual Fieldtrip (Feb 14th through March 5). 
All participating classes will have the opportunity to meet with Mrs. Novak before the Virtual Fieldtrip starts.
All participating classes will recommend at least one 'stop' on the Virtual Fieldtrip..
All participating classes should commit to producing one final 'product' about the experience of the Virtual Fieldtrip (see Suggested Activities).
