BLM ELECTRONIC FIELD TRIPS

BLM is sponsoring an Electronic Field Trip titled Renewable Energy: POWERful Choices.

Produced in conjunction with Distance Learning Integrators, this web-based program features three segments:

  • a "virtual visit" focusing on five major renewable resources and the role of public lands in their use and development;
  • an "Ask the Experts" segment in which BLM energy specialists answer student questions online; and
  • a student journal, which allows educators to assess student learning.

The field trip is now available for viewing. For more information, see www.efieldtrips.org.

Click here to find out more about how teachers and students can participate in this exciting new project. Classes should register in advance to participate in the complete program.
