This CD is really neat. So much more information than I had expected.
A great product that uses technology to help you learn about the world. While I prefer to have the boys visit places to learn, there are some places that are too cost prohibitive to visit. Digital Frog can help bridge that gap.
Check out the Digital Frog’s Digital Field Trips to see COOL places and explore… LOVE IT!
Would rather BE there in person, but this is pretty realistic.
This resource was so much more than I first imagined. http://homeschoolblogger.com/greensburg/783757
Thank you so much for sharing this review! It can be hard to find good interactive field trips. Because there are so many free field trips online, I would’ve hesitated to purchase this. However, it looks and sounds really cool and touches on areas I haven’t seen done before!
This is a wonderful resource for nature study! Check out our family’s review at: http://homeschoolreviews4you.blogspot.com/2010/10/introduction-to-digital-frog.html
