Teachers! We would like to offer you the opportunity to take your class on a 'Virtual Field Trip'.

The resource we are hoping to compile here at TRECK USA is designed to inspire learning. All too often students are unable to have on-the-scene interaction incorporated into their educational experience. We would like for your students to get involved as we attempt to bring an on-the-scene feel to the classroom. Scott Steele will be incorporating our Location, DAILY READINGS , VIRTUAL HIKE OF THE ADT, PHOTO GALLERYand FORUM Topics into his Ninth Grade Earth Science Classroom. Mr. Steele teaches at Wilson Memorial High School in Fishersville, Va. (Mr. Steele's Classroom Background Information). The incorporation of our hike with Mr. Steele's classroom curriculum will be presented in the CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES pages. Articles written by Mr. Steele's students will create a VIRTUAL LIBRARY. The virtual library of articles will become an excellent resource for students all across the country. Our involvement with Mr. Steele's classroom and the interaction of his students with TRECK USA will inspire his students to explore the earth sciences that are affecting their environment. While the Information Mr.Steele exposes his students to will be consistent with their traditional high school text, the 'Virtual Field Trip' will provide an untraditional platform upon which to present them the Information. The retention of Information by Mr. Steele's students will undoubtedly improve due to their Interactive experience.

The 'Virtual Field Trip' experience will offer your students an enhanced learning opportunity promoting an interest in the American Discovery Trail and the many educational 'discoveries' to be made while thru-hiking the States of the ADT from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
