I told him that was way too ambitious. But I love the initiative! <br /><br />There's a lot more info about what I've done with cameras on this field trip (although from last year), here: http://teachinghistory.org/digital-classroom/beyond-the-chalkboard/25640 if you are interested. I'd love to see what your 4th graders do!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725549451973770515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10378966.post-37536906630276056692013-05-11T08:17:57.055-04:002013-05-11T08:17:57.055-04:00Okay, this was awesome.

(I live in Illinois and have never been, though I hope to some day.)<br /><br />I am TOTALLY using this idea when my fourth graders go to Springfield, Illinois, next year to visit the Illinois State Museum and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum. I love what happens when we let the students use the technology we have on their own!Alex T. Valencichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176742152052333764noreply@blogger.com
