DLS Professional Dev--eFieldTrips

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: eFieldTrips for Inquiring Minds

Take your students on exciting inquiry-based learning experiences without a bus!

Electronic field trips (eFieldTrips) are exciting student enrichment experiences that are primarily webcast but may also be available for two-way videoconferencing at selected NC Information Highway sites. Theses eFieldTrips provide teachers with authentic ways to teach students digital literacy skills while supporting curriculum learning.
