Tails From The Tetons


The "Tails from the Tetons" electronic field trip has seven "webisodes" covering topics including wolves, forest fires and how plants and animals adapt to their environment. The final Webcast was a live question-and-answer session with rangers.

Teachers tune in for free, and the National Park Foundation and other nonprofits pick up production costs.
The Grand Teton field trip is one of several produced by Ball State University in Muncie, Ind. Students can also visit Carlsbad Caverns, Grand Canyon and Hawaii Volcanoes national parks. About 50,000 students nationwide tune in to each Ball State Webcast, according to the university.
