Geography students from University of Houston-Clear Lake traveled throughout south Texas during the 2008 Geography of Texas Field Trip. The eight-day tour gives students an opportunity to explore and learn about their home state. During the trip, students took photographs, wrote essays and created videos about their learning experience.
