The site has a lot of helpful tools, such as pop up windows for any instructions or words that may be unclear are further explained, and there are quizzes at the end of each section to help assess, and bonus activites for those students who may excel in understanding the topic. I rate the site a 10 out of 10 I found it very useful, and kid-friendly, especially for my ELL learners.

These annotated trips take students to some of the best web sites on each trip subject. We have a Trailhead (Intro) and Teacher's Resource that set the stage for most of our trips. The TourMaker field trips format makes learning fun, and makes using the Internet in the classroom simple, efficient and focused. You will find virtual field trips on science, literature, social studies, and other topics. Rec. by Gregg Gunderson Science and Math jgordon Thu, 16 Feb 2006 15:20:49 GMT
