I&#8217;ve mentioned it <a href=\"http:\/\/etechplace.org\/clough\/?p=139\">before<\/a> in this blog and shared some resources for you. But we wanted to give you more.  We wanted to take your students on a virtual field trip to the swamp.  So since today was a staff development day, the Virginia Trekkers took a trip down to the Great Dismal Swamp and made a podcast.  In the video, we&#8217;ll take your students to the Washington Ditch, created by George Washington himself; we&#8217;ll show them where a fire burned much of the swamp in the summer of 2008; and we&#8217;ll explain the unique properties of Lake Drummond&#8217;s water.  You can watch the podcast by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/virginiatrekkers.com\/DismalSwamp\">here<\/a> or download it on iTunes (just search for &#8220;Virginia Trekkers&#8221;).  There is also a map activity to go along with the video and some additional links that your students can explore.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the new Social Studies SOLs for 4th Grade is learning about the Great Dismal Swamp and Lake Drummond (the largest of Virginia&#8217;s two natural lakes).
