It's back to school time...

...and here at Cracker Country Living History Museum, we are preparing another great season of educating students about rural Florida's past. We have taught thousands of schoolchildren about what life was like for early Floridians through our programs like Rural Home Life School Tours, Disvoer the Past, and the Florida State Fair. We wanted to give you a taste of our brand new Electronic Field Trips program. Navigate through the menu above to see trailers of our films and to learn how our program can help you in the classroom.

What are Electronic Field Trips?

Electronic Field Trips bring rural Florida’s past to students who are unable to visit the museum and also serve as a great supplement for classes that attend field trips. Each episode focuses on a different subject in Florida's history and increases student's knowledge of life in 1890s rural Florida.

• An innovative program for K-12 students that meets state and national standards
• Videos on DVD that bring Florida’s past to life and make it relatable for students
• Interactive E-learning activities that reinforce learning
• Teacher resources for further exploration

Benefits include:

• Infusing technology into the classroom
• Utilizing a multiple faceted program that appeals to a variety of learners
• Enhancing students’ content area knowledge
• Helping to improve students’ communication and literacy skills
