I'm sure she just forgot about LIVE FROM ANTARCTICA 2, beginning January 97. Having participated year before last in LIVE FROM ANTARCTICA, I can say, without a doubt, there will be a great deal across the disciplines to look forward to! Check out the site: http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/antarctica/index.html There are a number of project opportunities out there, including electronic field trips, but (imo) you'll find the Passport projects to be the most accessible and cost effective for the classroom teacher. PTK efforts have always presented quality content, activities, and collaborative opportunities with a very comfortable amount of flexibility. I've been most impressed with the high level of influence PTK participants have in the flow of the projects. The Jason Project, however, is certainly worth a look - especially if you're near what they call a JASON Primary Interactive Network Site (PINS): http://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/JASON/HTML/JASON.html Committed and involved participants make these sorts of projects absolutely worth it and successful. I hope you stay with us for LIVE FROM ANTARCTICA 2 :-) Roger Stryker <regor@tenet.edu> ------------------------------------------------------------------ Educator - Grade 5 Williams Elementary - Austin, Texas Project: http://marple.as.utexas.edu/~WebSci Class: science@tenet.edu **Join Us!** ------------------------------------------------------------------ On Sun, 6 Oct 1996, Geoff Haines-Stiles wrote: > Hi, Cooks, > > Don't forget about LIVE FROM ANTARCTICA 2 in Jan/Feb 97, and then > rainforests and oceans in the years to come.
