And on November 3, student around the country will interact with rangers and local students from North Carolina and Tennessee in a live broadcast - an electronic field trip.
Interested schools can register to participate through an interactive website which is also available for teachers and students to prepare for the electronic field trip through six learning modules. Modules include interactive games, video podcasts, and lesson plans. During the broadcast, students may call in or e-mail their questions, and experts from the park will be available to answer them. The live 60-minute program will air via satellite, cable and webcast from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, November 3.
Questions about registration and/or broadcasting can be emailed to Carolyn Hill.
