| Teachers:
are you tired of textbooks that are out of date before they
hit the shelves or ‘educational’ internet sites that
claim to be student-friendly but aren’t? Our expedition
offers an interactive experience that features exciting content
and activities, taking students and teachers on the adventure
of a lifetime – virtual travel with the first human powered
circumnavigation of the world! |

To
assist teachers, we have included a range of lesson plans
and activities that can be used at intermediate grade levels.
These standards based activities cover a variety of disciplines
and are designed for use with our Internet educational content
found on our expedition web site.

The
design of our cross-curriculum platform allows teachers to integrate
grade level subject areas, while promoting the use of practical
application as students develop problem solving skills. Within
each lesson, students are encouraged to create projects that
promote higher level thinking, which enhances performance-based
assessments. |
Let’s
Explore … Australia! enhances the use of technology in

Board feature encourages the sharing of ideas and information,
