=Colonial Williamsburg= Resources and Electronic Field Trips

This year we have purchased the Electronic Field Trip series from Colonial Williamsburg. This is a series of "field trips" that are aired live on streaming video. Your students are able to call in while the field trip is going on and ask questions to the historians.

In addition to the students being able to call in, we have access to a lot of teacher resources and the video portion of the field trips (i.e. what is aired, just without the call-in portion).

This can be accessed any time, from school or home by following this [|link]. The URL is http://history.org/history/teaching/eft/eft.cfm

Our username is: history Our password: 4students

If you click on "Registered Schools Enter Here" next to one of the field trips, you will come to a screen that looks like this (for the Yorktown field trip). Clicking on Teacher Resources will bring you to activities and the video segments that can be used at any time. Live Video Stream is only for while the actual field trip is airing. You can also get to the video segments through the Student Activities page. Besides that a lot of the student activities seem to be for the time period surrounding the field trip airing.
