This workshop is designed to familiarize participants with the resources available to them on the World Wide Web for the purpose of guiding their students on a "field trip" using Internet resources to provide as authentic an experience as possible without really going there. Throughout this six week workshop websites will be explored and analyzed for their usefulness. Participants will become familiar with tools available via the World Wide Web to support the journey. Consideration will be made to ensure alignment with the Massachusetts State Frameworks. Each participant will leave the online workshop with a detailed lesson plan suitable for the classroom.

Addressing the individual learning styles of students can be a challenge for teachers. The World Wide Web contains a vast number of resources to assist teachers in understanding and planning for the different avenues through which students learn best. Participants in this workshop will review a range of web sites providing information about learning theory related to learning styles and multiple intelligences, as well as resources to assist teachers in both identifying students' learning styles and intelligences and engaging students in activities which best suit those styles and intelligences. Participants will become familiar with teaching strategies and tools targeted for each learning style and intelligence and develop a preliminary lesson plan using those strategies and tools.
