Adventure Online is a Great site for Social Studies teachers and students but also provides cross-curricular activities online in math, science, and reading and writing. There is a small fee of $1/student and $69/teacher but only $449 for the whole building. Considering what you get (projects, lesson plans, teaching materials, interaction with explorers and experts on subject matter) the price for a year is well worth the investment. |
