Integration for Module E- Journey through the Internet

In the Integration Corner for Chapter 5, the website that most appealed to me was a site for teachers created by Scholastic, listing “Internet Field Trips.”  (http://teacher.scholastic.com/fieldtrp/index.htm)  It has an index of subjects including Art, Science, Reading, Vocabulary, Writing, Social Studies, Math and more—and all of these sections are geared to helping educators teach a variety of subjects within these fields.  Each page is an “Internet Field Trip”- literally a trip through the internet.  When you click one of these subjects, you are taken to a page with material that is embedded with links to other areas of the internet.  For example, the page for Series Books under the Literature section:  When this “Internet Field Trip” is clicked, the next page that comes up is an article that touches on various authors who have written children’s book series.  There is a Tour Itinerary bar, with links to Nancy Drew, Cherry Ames, R.L. Stine, and many other authors’ web pages where an instructor can go to get ideas about what material to possibly introduce to his or her students. 

The other subject areas on this site have the same formats for different Internet Trips.  This scholastic site is somewhat like an Internet Archive for resources on these topics.  Instructors who use this site would benefit from its material, because instead of having to search for new ideas to further a certain study, by clicking one link they’ll be exposed to the material they are seeking from different kinds of websites all across the internet.
