Last spring I watched eagles hatch in Decorah, Iowa.
This fall our second graders watched fruit bats feed in England.
This fall I watched as 1,000 polar bears migrated to to the Hudson Bay in Canada! (The polar bears go there to wait for the bay to freeze so they can hunt for seals!)
Live webcams allow you to take your students anywhere in the world - virtually! They can spark excitement, awaken curiosity and create an emotional bond between students and subject matter that makes learning personal and meaningful!
