The goal of the expedition classroom is
to deliver content curriculum designed to promote higher level
thinking and cultural awareness through exploration. This
interactive classroom engages students in stimulating activities;
focusing on math, science and social studies.
Standards aligned lessons cover a variety
of interdisciplinary skills which are compatible with existing
grade level curriculum.
Participating classrooms interact with expedition
members through weblogs to explore in realtime the Indonesian
archipelago. Lesson activities from the field differentiate
instruction, while content area extensions allow teachers
to meet the needs of diverse learners.
Steeped in ancient cultures and historical
significance, the study of Indonesia offers and exciting look
