FREE Online Field Trips from Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

If there is any four-letter word that people of all stripes love to hear it's this one: FREE. Dale Van Eck is the manager of National Education Sales for Colonial Williamsburg. He wrote:

I still have 11 fully funded $500 scholarships to give away to Hawaiian schools. Check at http://www.history.org/Hawaiitrips/ for complete details. The trips are live and also archived for 24/7 availability so can be used when it fits a teachers schedule.

Please spread the word around, I’d love to give these away!

Funding for Colonial Williamsburg’s Electronic Field Trips is available now! Thanks to a generous Colonial Williamsburg donor, up to 30 Hawaiian public elementary schools are eligible to receive the 2011-2012 Electronic Field Trip series at no charge (a $500 value per school). This Emmy award-winning series consists of 7 live broadcasts that can be streamed via the Web or watched on the Hawaii Department of Education Teleschool Channel 56. Each Electronic Field Trip and its companion resources are aligned to your state standards and integrate reading/literacy, civics, history, and technology standards. The series is targeted to grades 4-8. Since the subscription is for the entire school building, only one person for each school will need to subscribe. Here’s how to find out more information and submit your subscription:

1. Sample the series at www.history.org/trips to review the great resources available.
2. Subscribe your school by clicking here.
3. Wait to receive your registration information to create your user name/password—it’s that easy!

Again, this grant is for 30 Hawaii public schools only. If you have any questions, please contact us at: EFTsupport@cwf.org with the subject line HAWAII GRANT or call 1-800-761-8331.
