This was the third year we have taken a group of fifth graders to Washington, DC for Spring Break. The trip was wonderful, as usual. We visited monuments and memorials for just about everything we have learned about in social studies this year: Vietnam Memorial, WWII, Iwo Jima, Holocaust Museum, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, Jefferson and Lincoln Memorial, Pentagon Memorial, Arlington Cemetery and more. We also managed to spend a little time at the zoo, visit the Nation's Capitol and still had an entire day to explore the Smithsonian Museums. You name it, it's there.
However, this year was a little different. This year we had Edmodo. I posted photographs throughout our trip along with trivia questions for the students to answer. Not only could the students on the trip respond but students that did not travel with us were able to "see" some of the sites we visited.
As usual, it was a great trip. I'm already looking forward to next year's trip! I just found out there is an African American Civil War Memorial. Maybe we can see that next year. One thing's for sure, I will definitely take Edmodo along!
