to be a boon for classroom teachers.

70's, our reference books consisted of a couple of sets of encyclopedias

They can also take some amazing virtual field
trips, via
The site was put together with software that costs just $24.95.
You can download it here if you'd like to make your own online
field trip.
In the meantime, take a look at the premade offerings, including
deserts, endangered species, oceans, rainforests, and more.
Your school can feature these field trips right now, free of
charge. Pretty cool.
