Developed in collaboration with:
Global SchoolNet

Thanks to the Internet you can have incredible adventures in exotic locales without spending a dime or leaving the room. Whether explorers travel the Silk Road of China or climb Mt. Everest, learning becomes an unforgettable adventure as students join thrilling, real-time expeditions to remote and fascinating locations. Observe daily progress and read field dispatches. Best of all, interact with real world adventurers through intriguing dialogue as they re-enact history—or even make history!

Your students will act like detectives: they will ask questions, gather information, look for facts to support or disprove their assumptions, and provide solid theories or explanations. This is not a textbook, but an authentic experience occurring in real time.

Through their participation, students can improve their academic skills in geography, history, science, math, language arts, and many other curriculum areas. They will be inspired and motivated to follow their dreams. By the end of the expedition they will be experts enjoying the accomplishment of applying their knowledge to real-world situations.
