Choosing Revolution EFT: Electronic Field Trip: “Loyalty or Liberty?” This is an interactive game called where students are given a role as a slave of a Loyalist. The slave goes on errands and learns different secrets. This site includes music, pop up windows which define vocabulary, pictures, it’s really awesome! It is connected to the Colonial Williamsburg site. They have several “electronic field trips” schools can purchase, but this one is free.

The American Revolution This site is linked to many other sites about the American Revolution. Some of the things I found especially interesting were midi files I can download with folk music from the time period, virtual tours of Betsy Ross’ house, actual spy letters, and an activity where kids write their own “spy letters” with invisible ink, a colonial stamp art project and lesson plans for the Revolution.
