Canterbury Earthquake Live 23-25 February 2011
Imagine the delight of our group of online teachers (2 of us are here attending conference) when we found that there has been a webquest written specifically for this field trip within LEARNZ. We are using aspects of that webquest and other activities on the LEARNZ Canterbury Earthquake site to direct our students to activities on a daily basis. Unfortunately due to the events of Tuesday 22 Februaury this field trip has been postponed.
 * The "Ask-an-expert" section is still running for a month and there have been videos added. **
