Classroom Prodigy has the Mobile Travel Guide, which we did use
quite a bit at the beginning of our unit until our subscription
to Prodigy ran out. Then we turned to America Online, and they have
a travel section which has sites of favorite cities, and it will
give you some information. We went there to get information on hotels
and restaurants and tourist areas. Then, of course, we went to the
World Wide Web, and on the World Wide Web they have a search engine
called Web Crawler. I basically did the search for the kids. We
found out what city they were interested in. I would just type in
the name of that city, and Web Crawler will pull up any web sites
that have that city's name in its title. We were able to choose
from some of those resources the ones the kids wanted to use to
help them create their projects.
