A Trip to Historic Philadelphia on the Web.
Wilson, Elizabeth K.
Social Education, v61 n3 p170-75 Mar 1997
Describes an electronic field trip to colonial Philadelphia (Pennsylvania). The historic locale has generated enough websites (Philadelphia Historic District, Betsy Ross homepage, and the Franklin Institute Science Museum) for students to take a virtual tour of the colonial capital. Suggests structuring the activity as a know-want-learn (KWL) activity. (MJP)
