How the free electronic field trips work:

The field trips are presented by Ball State University and are open to everyone. On the day of the field trip, LPB will receive the live electronic field trip series by satellite and channel it through as a live webcast so you can watch it in your classroom over the internet. You will need a computer and broadband access in order to successfully stream the event. The computer can be connected to a monitor so an entire classroom can participate. A toll free number will be provided so you can ask questions during the field trip.

To take part in the electronic field trips you must also pre-register in two places:

1) Click on a registration link above for the current Electronic Field Trip. Complete the form to register to watch the event over the Internet. Register to watch the field trips on LPB’s site, click on Login/Register and complete the information.  Logout when you are finished.  On the day of the event come back to this site and login again to see the field trip live.

2) Go to http://www.bsu.edu/eft/home/00front.htm, click on the tab “participate in the program”, on the next screen a submenu will appear, select “register for an EFT.” Fill in the information. Be sure to use the drop down menu and select Broadcast, web, and curriculum. There is no cost to you to participate.
