So what would life be like if CISPA were part of our reality?"

I have been part of a very exciting Graduate Program at CW Post. Through this program we have created a site that we would like to share with you. In this site you will find very exciting and new ways to take your students or yourself on a virtual field trip. Many times we would like to travel to interesting places but do not have the means. Through this site you are able to travel to places and experience them digitally. You also are able to share your travels on this site. Imagine going to Egypt and wanting to share it with students who might possibly never have an opportunity to go themselves. Please feel free to email us at Digitalexperiences@gmail.com with questions.
A fast and free field trip is at your finger tips!
All you need to do is visit :
digitalexperiences.wikispaces.com
Enjoy!!!
We look forward to hearing about your experiences and joining in our quest to re-invent a digital field trip!!!
