- 7. #YorkMLK16 @mollyaschoff Teacher Testimonial Molly, We had the rock VFT this morning. It was good. They sent a huge box of specimens. The kids were in groups of 3-4 and each had samples to handle and examine. I wish you could have seen the presenter. She was probably in her 50's with a big gray mohawk. She was engaging and the kids liked her. Thanks so much!! Jana (Orchard-Clearwater Schools)

- 12. #YorkMLK16 @mollyaschoff “Field trips provide students with a window to the real world that they don't get in the classroom, and they can help students understand real-world applications of seemingly abstract topics in math and science. For example, engineers may often use formulas taught in Algebra II, calculus, and chemistry classes. ~U.S. News and World Report: Education Teachers: Don't Overlook Value of Field Trips

Come learn how you can expand what you are doing in your classroom through video conferencing. Connect to Authors, experts, or theme based specialists. Bring a zoo, farm, or forensic expert into your classroom without leaving the school parking lot. The world is the limit.
