Virtual Field Trip Slideshow

One of my favorite units that I cover with my 2nd graders is Garbology. The subject is exciting and motivating for my students and they are always excited to learn about recycling and ways to help with reducing the amount of garbage. Some years, we are able to find the funding to take a trip to the local Lincoln Landfill to allow students to see the amount of waste that happens right here in our hometown. This may not always be possible -- because of funding, bus availability and other issues. I have created a Garbology Power Point that I will be able to show my 2nd graders and allow them to experience the way a landfill and recycling site work. I hope that this virtual field trip will allow them to learn about the same issues, from our classroom.

    I actually uploaded my powerpoint to my husband's QUIA Account. He is a teacher also and he uses this site to post webpages, quizzes, etc. for his students. So he helped me upload it to that and then I used a hyperlink on my blogger. My husband is wondering if you could use your school's server or Google Docs to do this same thing. I hope this helps.
