Virtual Field Trips, K-8

http://www.meetmeatthecorner.org/
Children's book author and former teacher Donna Guthrie has launched Meet Me at the Corner, a web site that allows students to create original videos, virtual field trips, and podcasts to add to an expanding collection started by the site's creators. It was developed to allow kids to meet fascinating people from all over the world. New educational, kid-friendly episodes are uploaded every two weeks.

Examples:
--November 16: visit New York City to learn about the history of knitting and crocheting
--December 1: visit New York City to meet a working clown
--December 14: interview with the National Yo-Yo champion
