Looks like an awesome deal!

See how foreign-born groups settled in your area and across the United States from 1880 to 2000.

Glitzy views of the ideas, feelings, and concerns of five passengers on the ill-fated Titanic

This virtual field trip allows students to explore the lives of people aboard the Titanic. To take the trip, students start by selecting one of five characters. Students will spend four or five virtual days learning about the ship and their selected character. On the night of April 15, 1912 they learn who their person is and if they survived. A great tool to teach students about the Titanic and 20th century history.
