Summary
Washington D.C. is a big place! Realizing that students would not be able to visit every exhibit in the Natural History Museum, American History Museum, and all of the monuments on the National Mall, this project will allow students to report on their experiences in Washington D.C.and give others an opportunity to visit many exhibits through a virtual field trip. The goal of the project is for students to develop and answer student generated questions to excite and enrich their experiences. Additionally, student presentations will further educate and entice students to return to the museums and our nation’s capital. The student presentations can be in many forms. These students chose Museum Box, Voice Thread, Web Pages and Video Podcasts to share their information.
