Hello everyone...
I came across the following from Lightspan Learning and thought some of you
might like to join an on-line activity to enrich the spring and get rid of
testing blahs. Of course you can join these expeditions all during the year.
-- Janice Johnson-Palmer Technology Innovation Challenge Grant and Instructional Technology johnsonpalmer@seattleschools.org 206.366.7915 --------------------------------------- 2. ONLINE EXPEDITIONSLearning in the classroom takes on a whole new dimension with the Lightspan.com feature Online Expeditions. Lightspan has harnessed the power of the Internet to connect classrooms with outdoor adventures all over the globe. Students follow the ongoing "e-travelogues" of explorers taking on extreme challenges at sea, in rainforests, on desert plains, and across frozen tundra. Vivid scenes of some of the most exotic, richly diverse, and even uninhabitable areas on Earth are transmitted to the classroom at each leg of the journey. Whether it’s close encounters with lions on the plains of Africa or navigating the choppy seas in a rowboat trip around the world, Online Expeditions puts students in the thick of real-life learning.
This month’s featured expedition package is sitesALIVE.com. sitesALIVE! connects K-12 students to academically accredited expeditions with students enrolled at field schools on land and sea. Students in the U.S. can stay abreast of the expedition participants’ adventures through e- mailing questions back and forth and receiving stories, pictures, maps, and other information related to the voyage. There are eight trips to choose from, including Class Afloat Live!, where classroom students track the adventures of sea- bound kids sailing to ports all over the world aboard the ship Concordia.
