As Liza has a chance to consider some of her choices and think about what she really enjoys doing, it is our hope that these opportunities will enable her to fully develop her interests through the variety of exploratory activities in the Renzulli Learning System database. When she takes a virtual field trip to a museum, interviews a favorite author on the web, or explores an historical site on-line, she will be learning to further explore her interests and learning styles. These kinds of exploratory activities can introduce Liza to new ideas and experiences and let her explore many possible interests.
