World Travelers

openclipart.org
Students in Mrs. Loft's Talented and Gifted (TAG) Program are working on a travel project that has them researching and creating original products from start to finish. Students choose a location they would like to travel to and then do all of the research required to facilitate that trip including managing a budget in Microsoft Excel, finding travel prices online, using Google Earth to visualize the location and its surroundings, and lastly creating a presentation to share the information with classmates. Presentations take form on screen in Microsoft Powerpoint and visitors walk away with a paper brochure created in Microsoft Publisher. This project provides a real-world experience that has technology integrated throughout.
