The purpose of a GeoDayTrip is to expose teachers to particular geographic content areas and to explore ideas for student field trips. GeoDayTrips take teachers into a field setting or a virtual field setting and focus on in-depth explorations of places. Trips are accompanied by lesson plans that are based on standards.
