Good morning, welcome to our Homeschooling Resources: Virtual Field Trips. This morning you will be able to visit Scotland through Electric Scotland.
Then you can also check out Alpha Omega Publications which is a website I have been wanting to check into for Charlie. If you have used either of these resources with your children leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of the resources and why.
Alpha Omega Publications (AOP) is a leading provider of PreK-12 Christian curriculum to homeschool families worldwide. Choose from AOP product lines such as Horizons, Weaver, and LIFEPAC.
All grades, with parental supervision) At this ad-supported site, a native Scotsman shares his love of his homeland through photos and captions. Don’t let the first glimpse of this website deceive you – there are lots and lots of fun and fascinating content here.
When you get to the site you’ll see a photograph of Pitlochry, Scotland. Below is a menu of links to photo archives of various scenic tours and historic landmarks throughout the country.
Click on anyone and the pictorial adventure begins. But that’s not all!
Use the menu at the top to explore all about Scotland:
- history
- culture
- famous Scots
- family trees and genealogies
- travel
- sports
- wildlife
- and more!
It’s all in a very accessible format, in readable chunks, with rapid download. A Scotland aficionado could easily spend a few years here. Anyone planning scholarly research on Scotland would definitely want to bookmark this site.
But there’s even more! This website is loaded with books, poetry, recipes, and even videos! There are children’s stories, games, and Scottish music. You can interact with the online Scottish community [parental supervision required] or plan a trip to Scotland.
There is a lot of content here. Because of that, we were unable to review the entire site that also contains links to other resources we haven’t reviewed as well. So, as always, parents should preview this website for suitability for their family.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
