RESEARCHER Q & A
(Inter-Active soon for subscribing classrooms.)
The opportunity to ask questions of the men and women researching Antarctica, and to receive back individual answers via e-mail will be active soon. Some of the answers will be from researchers seen in the video programs and some from their colleagues. Replies should come within a week or two!
What's the difference between ON-AIR and RESEARCHER Q&A? The former is active ONLY during the video broadcasts for the LIVE FROM... projects and for one hour thereafter. RESEARCHER Q&A is not time-dependent. Students may submit questions at any time. PTANT will acknowledge and answer all questions as quickly as possible so that students know their inquiry is not lost in cyberspace.
PASSPORT TO KNOWLEDGE is very grateful to all the researchers at all participating sites, and other expert volunteers, for generously contributing their time and knowledge to support this unique service. Q&A pairs will be archived online (without student Internet addresses or full names to ensure privacy) to form a growing database. To ensure equitable access to this unique opportunity there'll be a limit of 25 questions per classroom.
(Teachers, please review the "TIPS FOR TEACHERS ABOUT USING RESEARCHER Q&A" for some practical advice about how to make this a positive learning experience for your students--and to maximize the necessarily limited time of our experts!)
