Virtual Fieldtrip response

Yes, it is terrific to have the technology that can take a science class in California, for example, to the super- collider in Switzerland to learn about atomic particle "smashing" and actually witness scientists conducting an experiment! With today's school budgets under attack and our economy not turning around as quickly as we had hoped, field trips are practically a remnant from our past. These virtual fieldtrips allow us to jump hurdles over travel expenses and museum entrance fees. As long as our schools have the technology, the world is ours.
